job help: i found out last august that my mum has cancer. - Help.com

i found out last august that my mum has cancer.

i was unemployed at the time and to be honest i wasnt even trying to get a job. as soon as i found out, i got a job. i do like it but its quite stressfull at times. im 20years old. then a few weeks later a family member got into trouble with the police. its serious but i dont want to say what because of the stigma attached. so i have all this going on and recentley im starting to feel like i cant cope and its startin to affect my job. i need some advice. some strangers honast advice. thank u. x

Sounds like you’re having quite a rough time :( I’m not quite sure what to suggest, but I will say well done for getting the job :)

I’m sure you’re doing all that you can to help.. just by being there for your mother will mean the world to her :)
