My dad has been diagnosed with cancer. We are a close family and it has been a real shock. I have confided in a few friends ( mainly school mums) while we were waiting for results but not one of them has remembered to ask again or really care. I find this incredibly hurtful as I have been there for them in the past when they have had family problems. One friend even asked me if I had a lovely school holiday, even though I had poured my heart out to her on the last day of term. I feel like everyone is so busy with their lives. We received some more bad news yesterday and I would so love to have someone I could talk to, but I don’t want to mention it to anyone again as I think people only want hear fun news.
