How do you cope when your child lacks empathy during cancer?

Dealing with family relationship challenges during cancer treatment can feel overwhelming, especially when depression is involved. Many families experience shifts in dynamics and emotional responses during difficult health journeys, and these feelings of disconnection can be particularly painful. Consider reaching out to a family counselor who specializes in medical situations, as they can provide strategies to help navigate these complex emotions and communication patterns during such a stressful time.

🙏🏽 He will bring you through it. Call on the Name of Jesus.

I am going through the same with my only biological son. It had taken a toll on my health until I realized that depression will affect my healing and only speed up his inheritance. I started loving myself more . I am not sure how old you are. I am 65 years old and understand that the new generation is just about themselves and cannot help it. Maybe we give too much of ourselves to our children and expect the same in return especially when we are sick or disabled.They see us as a responsibility which they are mentally not equipped to handle. It took me a while to realize this.Please find the strength to take care of you.God bless.

🙏🏽 the holy spirit opens there eyes , That’s the heart of the Golden Rule 🙏 In Matthew 7:12, Jesus says: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…” It’s simple, but powerful. Want kindness? Be kind. Want patience? Be patient. Want respect? Give respect. Want forgiveness? Offer forgiveness. When we treat people the way we want to be treated, we reflect the love of Christ in everyday moments — at home, at work, even with strangers. Good reminder for today: Be the blessing you’re hoping to receive. 💛 Maybe they will read Matthew 7:12 and there eyes will be opened. Hang in there sister.
