cancer... =( Last year my step-dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor. (cancerous) And since then everything has changed-- which i expected. But i didnt expect my whole family to get so uptight about things. I mean, hes not fully cured ( never will be ) but hes still living.. i want to show them that he can still have fun!!! How do i help them understand that it would be bettter for everyone if they let him out a little more? ik.. its a weird question, but i need some advice..

i kno how the cancer deal goes too. but they just might not be letting him do as much stuff as before because even if he looks and acts ok hes still really unhealthy and sick. his body cant take as much stuff as it could before. but just because they wont let him have as much fun outside the house doesnt mean u cant have fun with him inside the house. even so much as just playing a simple bored game with him or watching tv with him will make him happy. and unfortunatley making him happy is the only thing u can do for him. but if u really want to try and convince ur family to let him out more just try to sit them down and talk it over with them. thats all u can really do and just hope theyll listen to what u have to say, but then again they may help u to realize sum stuff about his condidtion too. ]
Often times people tend to baby others who are handicapped. I'm not saying your step dad is handicapped,but he definitely is not at full strength. Does it bother your step dad? If it does,then it's really his responsibilty to let them know. ]
You are absolutely right, if he's sick, he needs to get out an enjoy life! Try telling your idea to your family.. they'll most likely understand. Tell them how you feel, and tell your step-dad how you feel also! Be completely honest with your ideas and don't hold back.. good luck!!
I hope I helped

Hi, im sorry to hear that. That happened to my dad too, and i kno how you're feeling and sort of what you're going through. Wheen this happened to me we wanted him to have the most of everday and enjoy himself. Try and convice your family that even though he is sick he can still have fun and enjoy himself. Depeneding on how active he is, you can plan different activites. Try and tell them that it would make him happir to go out and spend time with you and your family. I know that, my dad was happiest when he was with my and my family. feel free to ask me n e thing else, im here for you. ]
tell them, they need to lighten up. What happenes if he finds out he doesn't have too much longer to go, and he never got to go out and have some fun? He's still a living person who needs to smile. Just tell them that. ]
