Husband verbally abusive after prognosis of prostate cancer

[Cathalina]

Hi

I am not coping due to husband behaviour towards me after diagnosis of prostate cancer which mastised into bone cancer. I have tried to be positive and organised a holiday  at his persistence.

The holiday became a nightmare due to his verbal abuse  forgetting everything  and blaming me for things I did not do.

He is on hormone treatment which he has refused to continue due erectile dysfunction.

He is putting his anger and frustration on me. Who do I go to for help?

So sorry you’re dealing with this. It must be so hard. Contact the cancer council they can put you in touch with a therapist that may be able to help.

It sounds like he's struggled to accept his diagnosis. Feeling like "less of a man" is common. My dad had similar thoughts. If you can reassure him that it doesn't matter, that would help. The hormone blockers are important to continue.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m new to this site and it’s April 4, 2024. I hope things are better now.
