Except the past still effects him deeply. When his dad died a year ago he was really thrown for a loop with flashbacks and confusion, sadness and anger all at once.
But he won't admit to much. Thinks he is ok, thinks he is doing better than most .he is definitely a survivor but his NON stop stress and irritability over everything is going to give him a heart attack
That's a hard situation to watch your parent suffer, I totally understand. Just trying to get my Dad to talk to a GP for some medication for his anxiety was off limits. If you can't get him to understand what you are seeing and that there are options out there I'm afraid there's nothing you can do until he does something to become a danger to himself or someone else. I know that's hard, but it's not your fault that he doesn't want to take that step to get to feeling better.
