I think that you are a very strong, compassionate, and dedicated person to be there for your father. Especially with the way things have been going with your parents before his heart attack. And with the other issues you had. I think that many others could use you as an example on how compassionate and strong someone should be.

I've only just now read this, but thank you so much.

It really means a lot to me that you say these things. I am not often acknowledged for what I've been through as "everyone has a backstory" (to quote my mom - who I'm not too thrilled with either, but I won't go into all that).

My dad went back to the hospital this morning for chest pains. It was not another heart attack, thank goodness, but they are still yet to figure out what caused it. He is okay though, not in any pain now. My mom is out with a neighborhood friend buying groceries, since she herself can't drive and neither can I. Unfortunately, she will probably ask this friend to take her to the liquor store, which she promised my dad and I not to do again. So, if my dad calls again later and she answers drunk, I'll have to explain. And that will stress my dad out even more, which he does not need. I hate to say it, but I have a lot of hard feelings for her right now that I don't think I will ever fully get over.
