I think it's more of a not believing in medicine or not believing me about how serious it is. they haven't seen each other in like a decade either, so idk what's going through his head gross either way though

let’s be supportive and not critical of the person whose mom has cancer

Then you’d figure you’d be a little more empathetic no? Does it really matter whether or not it’s “on topic”??

LGBT spaces aren’t just for talking about being gay… these are historically non judgemental safe spaces. This person was sharing something vulnerable and they should have the right to do. Next time just scroll past, not saying anything is free

I got explicit permission from my mom to share this information. Please don't assume you know my life. I had to share because I was already coming down this weekend for my brother's birthday and I needed to make sure he wouldn't throw a fit about me not being present. This phone call from him came a week after I initially shared the info with him so he def wasn't in shock at this point.

my step mom has literally had cancer as well so you'd think he'd know better but he's not the smartest and believes everything Fox News tells him

It disturbs me to see when people place their ego against literal intelligence. Sorry you have to go through that

A week is still within the time frame to be in emotional shock, and don’t forget grief, which can and often does, last a lifetime. It just becomes something you learn to live with and gets easier. I lost my step mom to lung cancer when I was 14. I’m sorry you’re going through all of this.

That’s not how grief works. People react in different ways.

I’m sorry

Tbh the same could be said to you, bc you don’t know how this sort of post can hurt someone, especially when they’re not expecting it. And try not to tell people how they should react or feel to things as intense as cancer. Everyone is allowed to have their own feelings.

That’s not even close to what was being said.

I know shock can last a while, but I just have a really hard time believing that's the case for my dad because he and my mom don't even know each other anymore. like he cheated on her through their whole marriage, then they divorced 16 years ago, and the last time they had a face to face conversation was about a decade ago. and he's also like this about everything, he tried to sue my mom when my sibling was diagnosed with depression. I'm really really sorry you went through that as well
