Daddy is dying

My dad was diagnosed in September with oral cancer. Yes,he drank and smoked. we went thru a close call In Dec. when my wicked step-mother tried to pull the plug when he was in a drug induced coma(he was seizing from alcohol withdrawal). We all thought he was done with drinking but obviously not,. His wife kept this from everyone until finally the neuologists figured it out and it almost cost him his life. Now in March we found out chemo & radiation didn't help and these are the last days of his life. Problem being I inherited the drinking gene and every one is coming down on me ind=stead of focusing on the issue at hand. Now I have terrible feelings of guilt and sorrow because his last days are now and their turning me into the bad guy. I still go see him even though they look at me like some kind of murderer. Don't know how to handle this one- any help?
