HOw Do I Deal With My Drug Addict Father Who Is Claiming He’s Dying of Cancer?

Ok so basically my dad has been abusing drugs since like teenage years he’s 46 now. He abused me growing up and i hated him for a very long time. Now that he’s on the streets out of the 4 of us I’m the only one that has actually talked to him and tried to help him by taking him food or whatever. I explained to him he cannot stay with me because of his substance abuse and the fact that i dont’ want my kids around that, and if he’s willing to go clean we can talk about it again..

Anyway, he has a history of being very manipulative, lies, etc…to get his way only this time he’s making serious allegations that he has lung cancer, and that his liver is no good. He claims that he got his diagnosis today…I (as much as it sounds cold) don’t believe him, i asked him for proof. My grandmother gets on the phone and tells me that I dont’ have a heart then hangs up the phone (whatever). I called my cousins to see if they knew if it was true. One of them told me they are having a family meeting as i’m typing this..but he also wants proof..so he’s going over there and agreed to call me if it is indeed true.

I just don’t know what to do? Should I go over there, what if its a LIE, and he just wants a pity party, it’s late and i have to get up for school tomorrow…I have mixed feelings I don’t even know if him dying mean anything to me..he tormented me for so many years…, help please.
