Supporting my ex wife and six year old son through her treatment while not appearing overly intrusive.
I am 57 years old and my ex wife who is 20 years younger has been diagnosed with Stage #4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She has confided in me, and mentioned that she cannot find a non-religous support group in her region (Penticton,BC) for help. I know many Doctors and have started to find her some options. I am very concerned, want to help, and have attempted to do that. She now says my help has crossed boundaries, which I do not quite understand, but I will accomodate her wishes no matter what. What can I do to help without appearing to be intrusive, as that is not the case, but how do I alter any feelings she may have developed ,and still remain a positive support source for her? It's complicated.
