Not a good news day
Derek (stepdad) & I don’t get on at all. Today when I went to visit mum with my brother, Derek declared that Xmas was cancelled. He’s had prostate cancer for years, but he was recently told it has spread. So he’s gonna have to go thru various unpleasant treatments. A friend of mine has just finished exactly the same treatments. TBH I don’t know how he’s made it thru as it made him so very poorly. So, here is the dilemma… mum needs looking after as she has dementia… & if Derek can’t look after her or himself… well, what happens then? My mind immediately went into “emergency rescue” mode, trying to work out a plan to help, to sort everything like I’ve always done in the past. But I didn’t say anything out loud. I stopped & listened to my thoughts & tuned in to how my body was feeling, felt little me panic & heard teen shouting about how he can go “do one”. But still I’ve remained silent. But I am watching & listening. Really need to stay connected with myself thru all this.
