So my bus ticket is purchased, bags are packed, my plans set, but my step-father is currently in the Little Rock VA hospital close to death. Stage 4 Hepatic Carcinoma, also metastatic so the cancer has spread to his lungs and stomach. Kidneys failing and belly distended due to infection. Really never had a good relationship with him, but with how the VA is taking care of him it's causing my anger issues to resurface.
Should I stay put in Arkansas, support my family who has hardly ever supported me, and risk blowing my temper on the VA doctors once the stepfather passes due to their malpractice. Or should I go ahead and leave on March 1st and not look back to keep myself under control. It's taken me a long time to put my anger in control. Haven't lost it in many, many years since I was a teen. I know if I stay the chance is high that I could hurt someone the moment I hear he's passed away, but if I go I keep myself and others safe by avoiding hearing bad news.
