DAD HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS
My dad is extremely mind over matter. So much so, that he doesn't believe in the medical industry. He reached the big 60 last year and it sent me into a state of shock. I got in a big state today - curled up in mum's bed and smeared mascara all over her pillow cover - because dad threw away mail suggesting he go for a screening test thing.
ME, SICK? NAH
It is a very depressing thought when he believes WE are the deluded ones for believing what doctors tell us. What if he got something serious?! Even if, by some miracle, we convinced him to get tests, if they came back positive he'd never agree. He'd think the doctor made it up for some reason. Why would they do that?! He thinks that if you think right, you are right, that you can mentally will your cells to stay healthy.
SUPERHUMAN?
It's just baffling. A major truth of nature is that everything, at some point, will break down. He has it in his head that he can make himself superhuman and prevent himself from ever getting really sick.
