My father is dying, he is 73. I am the youngest of his sons, I am 36. He has probably less than 4 months left. I have not spoken to him or my step mother in years, we had a falling out, in which he said he never wanted to see me again.
I stayed away, moved, did not contact or stick my hand out at Christmas or anything, I broke clean and declared him dead then.
He got prostate cancer since then, it spread into his bones, liver, ect.
My stepmother went to my old roommates house, he called me, put her on the phone and she tried to guilt trip me, I told her i would not come and they both had made this choice and hung up.
I feel i made the right choice, knowing what my father has done in the past and what a hypocrite he is, I dont believe me going to his death bed would be a healthy thing for me.
I am catching flack for this choice from family members, so i am asking for opinions.
Thanks
