I found out my Stepfather has cancer. I'm lost at feelings. Idk
How I feel. What I should feel. I suppose I should be sad which I kind of am. But he hasn't been the easiest person to love. For example....he couldn't handle my mom being so sick with MS. He moved in another woman and changed the locks on a home they shared together. She had to live with her sister for three years. My mom is totally disabled. She cannot work and struggles to survive on SSDI. I guess I'm just struggling because he's done so many horrible things that last few years to my mom and younger half sisters. But he's never done anything to me. I do care about him. He has been decent with me. I e already lost my dad and I really don't want to see this suffering. I can't imagine losing him too.

I believe no one should suffer....
We should be allowed to make our own decisions about our care. Make out your living wills everyone. Talk with family members about your wishes. It doesn't matter your age, cancer effects almost everyone I know. I am sorry that your step father has cancer. I hope he doesn't have to suffer. bizi

Feel what your feeling. There is no right or wrong way to go about this.

It sounds like you have plenty of reasons to feel conflicted about how to feel.
I agree with Christina, allow yourself to feel a full range of emotions, whatever they may be. Thinking of you. WC

It's been strange. I've had mixed memories since yesterday. Memories of when my stepdad was really mean when I was little and things he did to my mom just being a jerk. Memories of good times we had of bowling or playing dice. And to top it off I've had memories of my abusive stepmother too. Overall it's been rather complex in my mind the last couple days.
I'm doing really well right now. I don't want to regress.

Sorry to hear. I can imagine all the thoughts and emotions you're having. Like Christina said, feel what you're feeling. I can also understand not wanting to regress. It's good to know that with this extra stress your moods might go a little haywire and that you need to watch out for that.
Best of wishes. |
