So, I just found out that my stepdad is dying.

👼👼👼Melissa 👼👼👼

I mean, we've known it's coming for a long time. He has had an artificial heart valve for 15 years, and a rare connective tissue disorder that has been making him literally fall apart.

But they just got the diagnosis that he has constant mini brain bleeds happening. It is causing personality changes and depression.

I'm 6w pregnant. I haven't told them yet.

We have a weird relationship. My bio dad dipped on me a few years ago. My stepdad helped raise me from 2 years old. But he was verbally and emotionally abusive during my adolescence, as he was a practicing alcoholic and got EVIL when he was shitfaced. He hit my dog, and literally tried to shoot my half brother. (who is a drug addicted shithead, but still.)

But he still helped raise me. And he's okay when he's not drinking, which he hasnt in at least 5 years.

I'm extra emotional due to pregnancy.

I just feel like I'm not going to handle this well.
