Still in shock.
I just never imagined that something like this would ever happen. It's so sobering at least I would think. I now know a person with this affliction and I think you might already be guessing what it is. I don't exactly know how to handle the shock, It's just that I'm so concerned and I just don't know what exactly to feel, It's almost as if I know less everyday.
My (adoptive) Father has AIDS. It turns out it's been for awhile, about 6 years I think. I'm so worried for my Dad, he's the only one I have. I know it's a little to late to be worried since it's nothing new to my Mom apparently (does not have AIDS). I still worry though, I heard the average life span of a person diagnosed is 24 years, although it may be less for my Dad.
It's no wonder now why he always said he wouldn't be around much longer.

I'm so sorry
Take it as it comes, cry when you need to and talk to someone- it helps. I feel for you. Your family will be in my thoughts. *hugs*

Sorry it posted twice
:(
So how does your mother not have it?
Have they known for a while? Where did he catch it?
And wait, has he had AIDS for six years? Or just been infected with HIV for six years?
It opens up alot of questions for me, but I'm sure they're too personal. I'm sorry for you. That sounds like a whole mess of bad news :( I hope things can work out in the long run (well, as long as it can be).

Amazingly offensive <3
Answers you wanted.
1. Amazingly he and my mother never engaged in sex after he got it, since he most likely didn't want her to catch anything.
2. Mom has known for awhile.
3. He caught it from a "good time girl".
4. Yes possibly 6 years now, it's full-blown AIDS...
If it helps you out any, they have been divorced for quite sometime. I think it was right after my mother found out. I appreciate your sympathy.
There really is nothing
There really is nothing perfectly comforting or smart to say in these kinds of situations...
I'm sorry, lonewolf :(
God I wish I could say something that doesn't sound so stupid. I mean, EVERYONE says that when something in someone's family goes wrong.
That sucks.
Nothing really to say :/ *hugs* I hope your dad is luckier than most and is okay for a bit longer... do you want an eigth note and a bunch of smileys? Well, that's what people get in hard situations. I hope they help, at least a little.
And just so you know, these take foh-everrr on a DSi.
