I don't have too much time to get into detail at the moment but I am really looking for an appropriate book or website for my situation. I'm 23 years old and live with my parents. My father has been suffering 4 years after an accident during surgery.. The result of everything was a liver transplant along with many other issues that he suffers with daily. He was in and out of the hospital many times up until a year ago he has been doing alright. Now he has problems with diabetes ( he swells up and gets rashes on his legs along with messed up sugar levels). I can tell everyday that he is suffering constantly as I am around my parents a lot, we run a business office together so this isn't something that I don't have to see all the time. He's getting frail and has trouble walking around with all the swelling and nerve pain so he's getting to a bad place mentally as well. I'm always working towards getting him to eat better & getting him to a psych but he seems to have given up on himself. Its like he really does not think he can do anything else to get out of pain and discomfort when I know that's not true. Its really wearing on me always thinking about the inevitable because he wont do anything for himself or his family. I know this is probably a very scattered thread and I may not be making much sense but I feel like maybe I need to start reading self help books or get someone to talk to. I just really don't know what to do at this point.. Any input anyone can give me would mean the world to me. I hate seeing him like this, hes the one in pain & suffering yet I'm an emotional wreck everyday..

Thank you, will write again soon.
