I'm spent. My hopes for my father returning to the psych hospital from the general hospital are squashed. My siblings took him home last night. I believe we've either been told lies by him, or he's not been thinking clearly. We are all now wondering if he has developing dementia, worsening psychiatric issues, or both. His behavior has grown increasingly strange and he seems to be telling lies, some of which I wonder if he even sees as lies.

I told my sister that I am unable to handle this continuing stress and that I must rely on them to take on all of the responsibilities for these issues. I feel bad doing that, but they understand.
