Hello @Linlin I have moved this to depression.

I am sorry to hear about your step dad. It must be frustrating and upsetting to see that your stepdad refusing treatment. Have you told him how you feel? also if he was to change his mind and have surgery will he still have a chance?

I have not told him as difficult to speak to him and even if we got a break though with him would be too late I'm just so sad even writing this
