My dad is dying and I'm probably going bankrupt, ask me anything
Advertisements [?]
My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last Feb that is in-operable and is now with Hospice. My folks divorced when I was 6 and he remarried and had another daughter who died at 26. Some thing happened (I'm not even sure what) after she died and Dad and I lost track for 10 years.

I finally called just after the diagnosis. I don't think I'll be able to see him alive again. He is so weak and sick that they (he and my step mom) don't want any company and I am respecting their wishes..

To add to the stress, my little company that has supported hubby and I since we both lost our jobs in the year after 9/11, has gone from bad to worse. I have gone from 7.5 employees to 1 and my gross receipts are down 70%

I offer services to corporate clients, who keep closing the sites and moving them overseas. I just can't seem to add more sites fast enough to counter the offshore exodus.

This week has sucked, but I'm hanging in there, so Ask Me Anything! :smoke:
