    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

My dad has just been diagnosed with oesophagus cancer. And it feels like everything in my life has changed.

Story: My dad has just been diagnosed Oesophagus cancer. And it feels like everything in my life has changed. It's hard in my house now I feel like every word I say or everything I do is wrong. All I can say is these past 3 weeks have been hard and it's gonna get worse when he starts treatment. My dad is my world and I feel like I need to help him after everything he helped me achieve before he got diagnosed.

Before dad's diagnosis I decided to leave school 2 years early and go to collage. The course I have enrolled on is gonna help my dream job. And all I think about is my dad won't be there or won't be there to walk his little girl down the aisle. People reading this might be like it's not terminal and after treatment he will be fine but my dad is refusing to stop drinking which means they won't operate. And there saying that chemo may be better first and then the op. I feel so lost and alone I just don't know what to do any more:(
