I’m new to this site and have really connected with some of the posts. My 35 year old daughter has breast cancer and when I told my friends they were of course nice and supportive. The problem is her cancer has changed me. I now have a tough time joining in chit chat. It seems self absorbed and trivial. I find I can’t stand listening to their preferred topics of clothing, restaurants, house redecorating, planned trips, newest acquisitions and the like. I try to join in but not successfully. Everyone asks me about my daughter which is fine and I appreciate that but I end up depressed and leave early. Any thoughts out there? Thanks
