So Sorry you have to deal with this! Please do not give up! i agree with the wise and wonderful Open Eyes in that i also remember this experience being posted a while ago but of course i may be mistaken. Are there any toher relatives or friends whom may be able to Help? Perhaps even atlernate with some of them if possible. Perhaps this is a bit much but if your father is quite old perhaps you may also consider a nursing home? i am not sure if that is possible or if you even want to. It depends on how you're able to deal with him and how willing he is to cooperare. Whatever you decide i Hope things will improve for everyone. Stay Safe. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Werewoman, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
