54. I am sorry about everything you and your husband are going through.

The most important thing right now is taking care of your husband and yourself. You, my dear, are not the problem. Your mother, brother, and sister are. You did nothing wrong. Your family members are not capable of giving you the love you deserve. Is there a counselor or psychologist/psychiatrist you can talk with? You need support right now. There are also cancer support groups in many communities. Talking to survivors and their families could help. I'll be thinking of you both. Take care and update us on how you are doing.
