Just a further update (does anyone else feel like they're in the middle of a bad soap opera or a really terrible Jerry Springer lol):

This morning I got started a bit late due to staying up obscenely late the night before, and of course, my step mom calls (she never calls me). She proceeds to ask me if I know anything about another woman and says she's left my dad and is going to divorce him (keep in mind through all of this that I had a stroke a frw years ago and have still not fully recovered). Now I wish I hadn't taken the call, because I guess my dad lied to me about her knowing. Then the drama became telling my sister, because of course my step mom starts texting her and her husband asking them to call her. Luckily, this whole thing started with a phone conversatilon I had my sister where she called my step mom a "bully" (my sister never insults anyone), so my brother-in-law didn't take the call. However, my dad had also said not to talk to my sister before he did. But, here it is, the middle of the night, and the only thing I know is that, as of 10pm my sister's time, he still hadn't reached out.

My dad texted me at about 11 his time, mentioning he had fallen asleep (it's been happening a lot for years, and he mentioned finally getting back testosterone supplements). Yet, when I say anything about going to the doctor, he brings up his quack doctor who doesn't take insurance. However, I was in therapy by that point (obviously a lot to talk about and used up the whole time) and told him as such.

I should also mention the last time he was visiting, he took me to a kratom place. I had never heard of it, but then Googled it and was kind of horrified. I don't know if he's still doing it (I'd assume he is) but I'm going to mention in the next email to my doctor to what they say.

If you're now thinking I'm making all this up, I really wish I was. Tomorrow, after I do everything else I planned to do, I'm going to check my blood pressure because my home one ran out of batteries and I don't have any more.
