So my WAWs dad is in a pretty bad way in hospital. He's 59 but looks 80. He is an alcoholic and basically his liver has packed in. The family haven't been told he is on death's door but WAW is extremely worried.

So I'm needing a bit of advice from any vets out there...

How do I approach all this? We are getting on better than ever since S and I stayed last weekend at our home which went pretty well. I want to support her in anyway I can but also understand that she needs to stand on her own two feet - plus I don't want her thinking I'm doing this just to get back with her (although if I'm honest I want her to see how what she had and is missing).

I'm down this weekend for one night to continue painting for the eventual house sale but I'm concerned that she will see me as Plan B.
Me helping around the home and being a gd dad was never the issue. It was my lack of GAL and us going out with friends. But I feel by being there for her when her dad is ill can only be a good thing. She was great with me when my mum died 6 years ago. In either case I am very fond of him and it is awful to see him in this way.

I am continuing to GAL slowly but surely. Another day of golf this week plus visiting my friends.

Again, how do I approach supporting her at this time? Am I doing the right thing?
