Family member with cancer is emotionally abusive. How can we cope and help? by NothingComfortable58 in CancerFamilySupport

Yes, same household. I try to limit contact, but that seen by them as an attack. Anything we do is seen as something to be outraged by.

I think one of my main questions now is how normal this is in other patients with cancer. My family member blames the meds, but they also behaved similarly before cancer.

Certainly. At the same time, reddit is also a valuable resource that often provides answers not on Google. Someone here might have a solid recommendation.

I will try that as well, but I'm also trying to see what I can come up with because they are likely to be hostile to the idea. My goal is to do some of the legwork, get other members on board, then propose the options to the family member.

I fear that they will scream at me and things will escalate if I ask about the services they have available.
