You're in a lot of pain right now. You've got a sick dad in the hospital and it's very hard for a kid to see a parent like that. It brings up a lot of questions about the uncertainty of the future. There are very real, deep fears about the implications of your dad's mortality.
Understandably, you're lashing out and attacking everybody around you because inside you're that frightened little kid who doesn't know if mom and dad are ever coming home from their night out while you're left with a babysitter. It's normal. But you should think about the people you're lashing out at.
For instance, Rosie O'Donnell lost a parent at an even more impressionable age than you are now. She, more than many other people, would completely understand the feelings and anxiety you're going through right now. She'd probably give you a hug and say, "I know where you're coming from. It's the worst. But you're going to be okay. I lost my mom when I was 10 and I'd give anything to still have her."
But people can't hug you when you're pushing them away and attacking them. And you don't want to do that if, g-d forbid, worse comes to worst and the unthinkable happens.
Other people would probably point out that you don't seem to be focussing much on your father who needs you when you're busy cutting and pasting on BWW and that if he dies you're going to wish you spent the time with him instead of dedicating yourself to antagonizing others during that time. But Rosie O'Donnell would never say something like that.
