Hi jen29. It has been awhile since I have been to the chat room on a regular basis.

The new medication, job responsibilities, processing emotions related to therapy, and family concerns are all stressors that total up and make the "load" harder to pull.

Your father may need respite help just for his own mental and physical well being. Maybe the other PC members have ideas of getting your grandmother to accept this possibility that your father may need a break.

That's what feedback I can give ATM. Take care, jen29. I will keep trying to add any other ideas that are helpful for your situation.
