[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hugs to you.  I was in a sort of similar situation 4 years ago.  Single, 4 year old son, full time job, father with terminal cancer, 2 not very helpful siblings, no other family.  I lived through it and you can too.

Take care of yourself.  
Attend to the melanoma.  
Get hospice involved.
See if you can take FML.  Lots of places will let you take a bit of leave each week, as opposed to taking it all in a chunk.  Could you afford to work 4 days a week for a while?
Make your husband step up and take care of his child.
Make your siblings step up.  They can help with money that can let you hire a monthly cleaner.  They can each come for a week at a time, spaced out, over the next 6 months, to give you a break looking in on your dad.  They can chase down insurance information.  
Farm out every thing you can.[/quote]

Yes, they should come visit and should at minimum assist with money.

My brother is the local one to my parents and I go visit once per month. I also give money to help.[/quote]
