@lisman1408 By any chance, are you single or do you have a partner? It would be helpful if that person could take them aside and speak frankly with them. My husband was my champion throughout. And my family understood what was going on. I am quite fortunate. My son and daughter-in-law even spoke to my 4 and 7-year-old grandies. They would all know to come in to my bedroom quietly to see if I was awake and then sit and chat. Even since recovering from most effects, if relatives are around and I am too tired I just excuse myself and my husband then entertains. Are there any support groups in your area you could try to attend? I find it is helpful to be able to speak candidly with those going through the same thing. I hope things go better for you.

Trixie, I’ve been married for 36 years. Unfortunately it was my husband who told his sister it would be ok for her family to stay with us for a few days when they were in town. It was last year, but sometimes it still hurts that his side of the family just doesn’t understand. I love my husband dearly, but he adores his little sister, she is like his daughter rather than his sibling, and often she comes first... I’ve learned to live with it, but at the time when I was going through radiation treatment, it was very hurtful.
