Karma has been work. My parents divorced 21 years ago. I have 2 sisters, a brother and a half sister. At the time of their separation I was 17, my brother 18 and my sisters 12 and 6 years old. We were all living in Vietnam at the time. My dad started cheating on my mum (again) with a Vietnamese girl who was barely 25. Anyway, mum found out, all hell broke lose we (the kids) and my mum loved back to Europe. My dad stayed and still lives in Vietnam. We have not seen him since, he never paid child support etc.
My brother got diagnosed with Melanoma in 2001, dad did not bother even getting in touch with him.
I was diagnosed with a grade 2 Astrocytoma brain tumour in 2017 and had surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. He did not come to the UK to see me because it was 'too complicated'.
Now he's the ill one and he wants to call us all to apologise for being a sorry excuse for a father...
