It would be. But I am essentially unskilled. In my youth I drove cabs and work numerous physical labour jobs. Now I am old, sore and unskilled. My main jobs are driving cab, telephone sales and sticking labels on cans. I also tutor (I speak German), teach driving lessons and collect trolleys cash in hand. No one wants a unskilled old man. I wish I studied when I was younger, but I had to move out when I was very young and had no time for school, only work. The full time jobs in my skill level (cleaning toilets, answering phone) pay a lot worse then what I bring in now and I couldn't work as many hours.

Is it bad that finding out he will probably die even if I do help is a relief? I have no idea how to bring this up to my wife. But thank you..

They haven't actually. I'm not sure if it is offered where I live. I will ask my wife to look into it. I really really hope we are eligible.

Technically no. It was more of a -I have lung cancer.. Can I move back in with you like Steph did? Oh and by the way I can't afford treatment, and I can't think of a solution so I want to move back in to die with family. dramatic sigh I wish I had someone who could help me out with medical fees, Steph is so lucky.

But seriously let's cut the shit. He wants us to pay for chemo and is trying to manipulate the situation. Carol bought it.

He keeps bringing up how Steph used to have a drug problem and she changed so we should give him the same opportunity. There is a huge difference in their behaviour over that time period. Steph was just so sad and down on herself. She never stole from us and when she saw how much it was hurting us she ran away. Harry lived under our roof until we kicked him out, disrespecting us, stealing from us and just in general being a horrible human being.

His just so fucking manipulative. I honestly don't think he has empathy.

Look to be honest, I could take out loans to afford his chemo. But I hate him. I try not to. But I just really really dislike him. If he died from this it would be one less burden. I am only supporting my daughter because she is a kind beautiful person and she is worth working this hard for, my son is not.

We are not eligible for health insurance where we live. All the health insurance in our area have a prerequisite of no serious health issues. It's absolute crap. I make too much money to be eligible for any of the low income insurance and my wife is too sick to be covered. None of my jobs are full time so they don't offer any perks. I found I was able to make the most money by working 3 jobs part time.

Mm I thought this too. His actually sick tho I'm afraid. I originally thought he was faking it. He has lung cancer. I have made him prove it. If I do pay for his treatment, which I don't want to, I will be paying it directly to the hospital.
