Listen carefully, cause I'm only gonna say this once.

I may be moving back home.

Dad has skin cancer. He's going to be in the hospital within 48 hours. He's going to have to undergo chemotherapy. I may have to be the one to take care of the house, and if he's going to be an inpatient I'll have to pay the bills and everything else as well. I might have to be helping with that anyway.

I don't want anyone's sympathy, I don't want words of support or condolences. I know that you all care, and you're sorry, and you hope things get better. I'm turning off comments for that reason. I don't need to hear any of that right now. If I need to talk, if I need support, I'll come to you for it. Right now, I just need to forget it and go to work. Right now, I need to pretend I'm okay.

Please don't talk to me about this in real life. Off the internet. Because if I have to actually say those words out loud it makes them real, and I don't want them to be. So please, just...don't.

He might be a bad parent, he might be a serious fuck-up as a human being, but he's still my father.
