I''m so sorry you are going through this. When my mom was dealing with terminal cancer, she came to live where I live. My brother refused to even come visit her, and didn''t see her at all for the last 9 months of her life. He preferred to "remember her the way she was". My sister and I looked after her, mostly my sister because they got an apt. together. I was very bitter toward my brother for a while, and just couldn''t comprehend his stubborness in all of this. It was his way to deal, and he didn''t feel any less, he just couldn''t cope. Do what you need to do. I was seeing a therapist at the time, and she helped me with a lot of my feelings. Take care of yourself too! Hugs and prayers.

I cannot imagine what you''re going through. I''m so sorry. I do feel that your dad needs to take care of himself (not stop treatment) so he can continue to live with his wife in the years to come.
