Sucks, but what are you going to do I guess? idk how to feel about it. He laid it out on me this morning in a very matter of fact sort of way, like he doesn't care. And I'm housing insecure too, when he dies idk if I get this house, and if I do, if I can pay the taxes on it and keep the lights and heat on.

Guess I'll just die.

Good luck, comrade, hopefully it's nothing. Lots of love your way

Hoping your dad is ok. If I can impart a little advice - get his will and end of life documents sorted out NOW. Have a serious talk with him if he wants to be hooked up to tubes or just wants to go at home. If you've never dealt with long term sickness or hospitals/hospice/home's, I can assure you, its far more awful to see and live in person than you can possibly imagine.

The matter of fact attitude could be a coping mechanism maybe. Sometimes people met with potential bad health news mentally "distance" themselves from the situation by being very clinical vs being emotional.

I'm sorry to hear that. I wish both you and your father the best.

Hoping everything works out for you. It's a really tough thing to go through no matter what. Medical science has come a long way and keeps getting better, there's lots of reasons to be hopeful 💜
