As a disabled person I understand the dad trying to distance himself. It's hard to think when you're in pain but it's also tough to think about your loved ones being sad that you're sick, and he really thinks he's gonna die. So if he's a shit father he thinks his daughter will be able to "move on" after he dies. He's also not gonna listen bc she's what 5? How would she know about his illness yk? I wouldn't believe a baby either
I needed this so badly, it thrills me like how old Wattpad and Tumblr short stories used to. My depression is just floating away when I read this. I genuinely haven't been this excited to read smut in so long
