I've posted this here and in SN section as I desperately need advice but don't want to offend. Sorry, long post but background:
DD (3 last week) is having chemo for a rare cancer. We have to be really careful about infection so we are somewhat housebound.
Her behavirou is awful - which we knew to expect. She probably has some pain form the tumour and just feels crap because of the chemo, as well as being bewildered at all the disruption between home and hospital.
Problem is that all her emotions with me are magnified - so if she's angry, she is kicking and yelling at me. If she's upset or cared, only I can console her. Day or night. It is constant tantrums as she has no tolerance for anything going even slightly wrong.
Clearly we are all strung out from the sress of the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Plus I am 14 weeks preg with DC3 and I am getting very near the end of the tether.
So wise MN, how do you cope when DC attack you and are generally horrible but you know it isn't their fault?
TIA
