If Paul truly feels that your dad needs to have someone with him all the time you need to check into getting someone that can come in during the day for a few hours which will give Paul a break that he clearly needs. Neither one of you should be expected to be with your dad 24/7 if he is able to be alone for a few hours or has someone else there.

Krista you are right-you have 2 jobs and a husband and Paul needs to understand this. I think finding someone to come in during the day-even if it’s just for 4-5 hours would help.

Will your dad be able to change his bag at some point? Maybe he would feel better if he didn’t have to rely on others for that?

I can understand your frustrations. Did you ever check into any kind of depression medication your dad could take that might help? I think what he is feeling (highs and lows) is natural but if there was something that could help with his mood, it might be worth checking in to see if it could help.

Love you sweet friend.
