Hello everyone. I have bit of a dillema here. My father, who is in his mid-sixties, was diagnosed with cancer last year. To help him, I moved into his house with my husband and 2 daughters aged 12 and 9. However, my 12 year old daughter has just said she has to get out of the house - and prefebebly go back to our own house. She's only able to take a shower once or twice a week, so my father can have one every day, and she says that his constant moaning, complaining about life, wanting to kill himself, and exposing his illness to her is tiring and scaring her. She says that every day, her being quiet and shy, he forces her to listen to this, and also gives her little privacy, even though she has her own room. She and I are too scared to hurt my father, and he doesn't physically hurt or harm her, and I feel I can't leave him. I have little other family here. Should I listen to my daughter and move out, or stay with my father?
