Anger

Hello,

Just looking for some place to connect with others caring for a dying spouse who is angry, hateful and actually cruel with his words. Been married 45 years, he was a functioning alcoholic and I was the enabler. I am a 10 year Lung cancer survivor who by all means should not be here except by the grace of GOD. He is 72 started with prostate cancer, developed MDS which progressed to leukemia.

Needless to say he's angry and mad and guess who his punching bag is. I get it, been there but I never during my 5 years of treatments, and 100's of scans and test did I take my illness out on my loved ones. I don't understand!

HOW do I continue with this, been dealing with this since his first diagnosis of prostate cancer in 5/2021.

At such a loss
