Feeling deflated and resentful

I am 18 mos post breast cancer treatment for Stage 2B invasive ductal Cancer. Surgery chemo radiation all I attended mostly alone. My spouse in WC family there for first appts and surgery but then work and family took over. I am feeling very deflated and alone right now as my family treats me as if I never had cancer. No one askes how I am doing they assume everything is back to normal.

I feel resentment towards my spouse as I am caring for him daily transport to PT making dinner shopping with no relief . Even during cancer treatment I did it all but had no one caring for me when I could have used alittle TLC

Just wondering if anyone has ever felt this way . It is hard as I really have no one to talk with . Thanks for listening
