I just wanted to say hi for the first time, my name is Keira and I’ve been having problems with my dad for years now and my mum just told me today that he had cancer I hate him he made me feel so much pain but I can’t stop crying or thinking about when everything was fine or when me and him camped outside in the garden I lived it but I hate him so much I just don’t know how to process it right now and I promise my friends mum that I wouldn’t cut myself I really want to but I can’t break a promise that soon and I don’t know what to do

I'm so sorry. It's hard to deal with a parent when you're having issues and then to be faced with their possible mortality adds another level of hard. Your parent could possibly be taken away before they became able to give you what you needed. It's hard to reconcile what is and what your inner child yearns for.
