OMG! Well first of all I’m sorry to hear that your mother has cancer. I know what it’s like to have a family member with that horrible disease.
First of all your mother needs your support and your strength. Make sure that you let her know that it is not her fault that she got cancer and that your father didn’t stick around to help her go through this difficult time. It is also not your fault or your siblings if it ever crossed your mind.
Whatever the reason was, I’m sure it’s painfull and difficult but the beauty about life is that you can get through anything! Tell your mom that you love her and that you are here for her and that its his lost and that she deserves better…a loving man to support her and help her heal. Tell her that she knows better than anyone that life is too short to live in the “what ifs”. Tell her that she is blessed to be alive and have the opportunity to survive her battel with cancer and find true love in the future. But that she needs to focus on getting better and on you guys.
Talk to your siblings and understand that sometimes parents grow apart. Sometimes they don’t realize what affect their actions will have on you, the child. Your father may not realize how he is making you feel…maybe you should talk to him and let him know that you need his love and support. Tell him that it’s hard for you to see him go but you want both him and your mom to be happy but you also need him to still be your father and show you that he loves you.
I’m telling you…the most important thing is family. Your mother sounds like she loves you and your siblings a lot. Take care of her and just try to bring happiness to the house.
Also, pray…it’s amazing what it can do…even if you’re not religious.
If at the end of the day your father doesn’t show you his love. I know that it will hurt, but know that not all men are like that and make sure that you fall in love with a man that shows you how much he loves you everyday.
Best of luck to you! ;)
