I know that you love him, but you are not obligated to work yourself to death taking care of him, especially when he has other options but instead chooses you to bend over backwards for him.

He could not be left alone at night. If I didn't want to stay with him, I woukd have to notify his family or the VA, so he could be placed in a nursing home. He cannot be safely left alone. He has mobility impairment and dementia.
What I wrote above was that I get impatient and have shouted at him. I am not being abused by him in any way.
