Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok so yesterday on my Dad's 58th birthday he tells me that he has heath problems that he hadn't told me about. He told me it's being watched and that it's not his cancer which has been in remission for several years but that's it. He won't tell me what's actually wrong, he won't tell me how bad it is...mind you this is the guy who told me he had cancer 2 weeks before having major surgery to remove his thyroid and some lymphnodes even though he had known for over a month.

I'm feelin' a bit like poo and I'm not sure if I should be mad at the guy or not...grrrrrr.

What would you do? Cause I'm lost bleh

heart Thanks Vix *huggles* heart

Oh and on a side note he made me promise not to tell my sister but after the whole cancer thing I promised my sister that if mom or dad ever told me something about their health that I knew they were keeping from her, I would tell her. I guess my promise to my sister came first...right?

Oi...I wish my family was just honest with each other so that all these promises didn't get so complicated!

Hi! It's hard to tell a loved one you are ill. You don't want them to suffer and worry about something they can't change.

I lost my dad about year and half ago. He had medical problem we did'nt know anything about. He said he knew we would worry and fret, so he didn't tell us. He said he put every thing in God's hands.

You have to let your dad do things his way. Maybe he can't find words to express what he is going through. Maybe it is something you shouldn't fret about. Your father knows how "you" will react. I'm sure he has your best interest at heart. Don't keep worrying because this only add more worry to your father. I'm sure when the time is right and he has the proper words, he will tell you what he feels you need to know. Hey, put all things in God's hands and pray for his will to be done. This is all you can do.

I will pray for you and your father. If you need someone to talk to, I have a listening ear. PM me any time.
