Reading your post suggests that you would like to live with your son everyday but you don't, you obvs figure very much in your sons life and he seems a very sensitive loving little boy so just carry on what you are doing Geoff and take comfort from your son beating cancer and cherish every moment you have with him

Hang in there Geoff your son needs you, can you get any medical help or support just to ease the burden on you?

Hi Geoff. I’m Andy. Firstly welcome to the group. You’ve come to the right place. This is an amazing group of people. Always helpful.

I’m so very sorry that you are having such a bad time. You sound like a good man, and an amazing father. You care deeply about your son.

Right now though it’s all about getting you the help that you desperately need. Not sure if you have been to your G.P? But that’s the start. Counselling is another way forward. Joining this group was another small step forward. Being with people here who understand and can support you.

Getting your strength back is important. Self care is vital. Looking after your self.

Hope this helps a little. I wish you all the best.

Take care,

Andy.

You've been through a lot as you watched your son fight his cancer. Mayb you need some time to absorb everything that you have been through.

Listen to your son. He's a smart little boy and he's a fighter.

You can do this, for you and for him.

Make some calls and get a therapist if you can.

Keep reaching out here. There are many people here to help you.
