The Yodles look like something my dad would buy. I wasn't a fan of chocolate logs, but I'd eat them.anyway

Thanks for this!

You are right to do absolutely anything that you feel you need to do. Feelings are changeable. Don't give yourself a hard time if you feel you need to skip. Don't give yourself a hard time if you feel you need to go.

But I feel like no matter what you did or didn't do, he should be there for your surgery. Not that this excuses his behavior at all, but is it possible his health anxiety extends to you? Could he be scared about your surgery? Again, that doesn't make his selfishness OK, just one possible way to explain things. Like maybe it's easier for him to focus on his health than to worry about someone he loves?
Could be. He says he's worried about me, but he doesn't show it. Then again, I do worry about him when they prove something is wrong, but I don't show it... anymore at least.

I think I did pretty good supporting him for as long as I did. Normally, I only give the person 3 days then I'm burnt out. It's no wonder why I finally had a breakdown.

But I of that time am no longer the same. I actually had this dream this morning:

It's Christmas time and my dad comes into the house from somewhere. He tells us we're going out somewhere so to get ready. My little sister is 3 and wearing her blue disney princess dress and starts to change. My mother and other sister go and sit outside on the wall- it's snowing. I run upstairs to change my clothes and my brother and I are putting on our shoes. Then he decides to go to sleep instead and says he's not going whilst my mother and sisters are already waiting outside and I can feel the disappointment looking at him.

Do what you feel you need. But do you think you'll regret not going? Think about it in that sense. When would he be seeing you? Maybe schedule for like Thursday or Friday so you could still cancel if need be, if that's an option?

I said for for you.
Whilst our Una does have a thing about bus stops- you didn't miss anything, that was that the first image that came to me using LT's phrase "play nice" .

My exam is on Wednesday next week- if I don't pass I don't want it to be because I felt like I should have gone in- but where I am now I don't feel like I need it. I'm feeling okay. I feel detached from him and guess I just realize I have to really save myself more than anything.

Another is how this will affect the child's emotional development. I mean, if they live with him, have him in their life, they will be affected. Imagine the stress of having a father acting like he is constantly about to die on a young child. As an adult, you realize he isn't at death's door, and it's still making you feel suicidal. The effect it would have on a child who might believe the fuss would be very bad. Then when they finally grow to realize it's all in his head, that would do additional damage.
actually-you can because i am doing it. it isnt easy but it works.

They can, and this is a forum in which we can express our opinions. From the sounds of it, your circumstances are completely different, weren't chosen, and your comment is therefore completely irrelevant to what I said.
