Dear Well Meaning Bestie,
Deep emotional denial isn't the healthy option but it's the one getting me by.
Offers of support and advice don't change facts babe, one parent is dying by inches and has been for years, it'll be over before Christmas expect an invite to the funeral through FB. The other is going for a course of radio therapy which will hopefully reduce a brain tumour, last year's surgery having been unsuccessful. And through all this family undercurrents are still...undercurrenting.
An emotional shut down might not be how you'd deal with all this crap but it's how I get out of bed in the morning. Dragging me to the pub and sneaking double shots into my drink isn't going to work and FYI sneaky isn't your thing. Thanks for caring but BACK OFF.

I really need to say something along those lines to her but it'll just end in a messy argument.
