I am 24 years old and my step-dad has terminal cancer and has recently been told he can no longer have any treatment as he is too weak.

My younger brother is 13 years old, my step-dad is his biological father, my brother is quite a solitary kid, doesn't have many friends and is a bit awkward socially and both me and my mum are having a hard time trying to get him to talk about any worries or feelings he has, without pushing him to far as he is sensitive. I was just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with a similar situation. He's just a kid and hes already trying to be the 'man of the house' and bottling everything up and im very worried about him.
