My spouse has been vb and Psy abusive most our mrg.. ea time I was ready to leave I’d lose my job or he promised to be better..
Now he has gr 4 gbm. He’s had the surgery and treatments and still on adjuvant chemo. He’s doing very well physically and mentally except now he’s starting to get back to the verbal criticizing and complaining of me. When he acts this way I count the months til I can leave, but, if he were to take a turn for the worse, of course I wouldn’t abandon someone in that situation… so far his last 3 mris have been clear..he gets another mri end of may… hes on Temodar til August and gets an mri ev 2 mos and lab once a mo. ( dr said his last lab was normal.
So far he’s living a good quality of life, no pain, good appetite, and he can do more physical activity now than when he was on radiation.
He keeps improving …like others, we wait ev two mos with fingers crossed…hoping next mri will still be clear.

@freebird36 life with your husband sounds very difficult and depressing. Is he able to care himself well enough that you could go away for a few days ? I think you’ve earned it! Does he go to any group settings during the day? Is he able to do something like that? And how about male friends who would play cards or watch sports occasionally so you could get out of the house?
Can you think of any organizations in your community that could help you brain storm some options?
