Hi! I just found out that my stepfather was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer that has metastisized to the liver. I am having a hard time dealing with the emotions that go along with this. I am not necessarily close to my stepfather, but it is very difficult to see my mom in this state. I also have a difficult time dealing with her requests, such as her idea of me moving back home. I would like to talk with someone who has had to deal with in the past, so I can get some ideas and support! I also need guidance as far as what to do or say--I feel like I have hit an emotional roadblock, as I don't know what to do. I can be reached by email at MissWestDuluth@aol.com.

Thank you for your time!
