Stepdad



Hi, I'm new on here and joined because I feel I really need to talk to someone about how I'm feeling. My stepdad was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer a year and a half ago, and at the moment he's been told that its inoperable and there's nothing much the doctors can do, we're just gonna wait and see how long he has left. It really hurts me cos I've never really got on with him that well but recently I've realised how much I'll miss him, cos my real dad's not been around for ages, and my stepdasd's the best thing i've got to a father right now. But my family neveer seems to talk, so we're all hiding our feelings inside and I don't even really understand what's going on with him all that much. I feel like I'd like to get counselling or something similar but don't really know how to go about this. Anyone in a similar kind of situation out there? I just don't know what to do really.

Jess.

Yeah i understand how you feel i feel the same if you think that would help you do it. Just let him know your their for him and put the past behind you. Its wierd how this happens you see it on the telly but you never really expect it to happen to anyone you know like my aunt i dont know if you watch casualty but my aunty has the exact same brain tumor as dr jordan on their but when it first came on telly we had only found out a couple of weeks before the whole room went silent it was really odd i get what you mean you dont realise how much you'll miss them untill you realise they havnt got long left i really hope one day they will find a cure to this Xxx

hi i know how many people must say this to you but i acchurly know how you feel.
last week my grandpar was diagnosed with jorndes which then turend out to be bowl canser which had spred to his liver and his lungs. now today we found out he had only 4-8 weeks left with him
(i would alsolike to point out hes the best thing i had to a dad for ages)
noe my vew is you can sit there and regret what you havent done with youre step dad or you could go out there and do as much as he can manage with him to trie and make up fore some of the time youve lost together.
to be onist if it was me in youre situation i would count myself lucky as at least you have had time to prepere fore it and do a couple of things that you wanted were as with me we have no time at all.
as for the counseling thing do you go to primery or secondery school?
all my love and best wishes
