Also I feel like I can’t talk to him my parents are split up so it’s extra hard and I feel so upset. I sometimes feel like it’s my fault and I know that’s stupid but I always feel like that. And I wonder would it be better if I had cancer but it wouldn’t.I came to rip rap to talk to people who understand me more then my friends.

Its normal to feel that way. Maybe you could talk to him about how it makes to feel awkward, to sort our tension.
