[quote=Anonymous]I think the hardest thing for me to accept about my dad's cancer was that his feelings about his illness were more important than mine. He asked me to keep it a secret for years, and I did, but I don't know if it ever occurred to him how angry the rest of the family was when they learned about it. He also stopped telling me about the state of his illness in the final years. I'd spent a lot of time flying back and forth caring for him for weeks at a time and it hurt me a lot when he stopped calling on me. He gave me no choice in the matter and even said some extremely hurtful things to push me away. He had his reasons for the way he wanted his final years to go and, yes, I know vanity and pride were in the mix. I can't resent him for that - it's who he was. He was always going to handle his life the way he wanted and his illness was no different. It's not easy, OP, but let your stepmother's wishes take priority.[/quote]
