I'm Male, 16 and only found out this morning that my dad has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia. He is 54 years old and suffers from anxiety and depression. I don't know to feel. I know there are chances of him recovering with chemotherapy. But, thus morning when I visited him in hospital it was the first time I've ever seen him scared. He has no history of ever being  seriously ill before so its completely new for him, me and the whole family. He is the most amazing parent I could ever have and has always been there for me. It's just the fear I saw in his eyes has broken my heart. I need to be positive about recovery and showing as much love for him as possible. Everything is breaking my heart, even our dogs won't stop crying because he's always home and he can't be.

Both my parents are self employed, but my dad was the one making money and now he can't work. We rent our house and have been bad on money prior to this situation. I feel a compulsive urge of responsibility towards my mum and my sister.

How can I help? How should I feel?
