[quote=Anonymous]My mother passed away when I was a teenager and I am very close with my dad. He has always had problems keeping a job or saving money. Once he gets a small savings,he loses interest in maintaining employment and always gets fired or let go.

He lost his job about 3 years ago and has not found employment saying he's too old and no one will hire him or that he is having medical issues (prostate). He moved in with me about 7 months ago under the rule of he would have to work and get a plan for how he will save for retirement and find a place to live permanently.

Nothing. He does nothing all day. I talk until I'm blue in the face offering suggestions, job opportunities, health concerns. He just offers excuse after excuse. My finances are draining from the extra expense. His hygiene is horrible. My apartment is starting to smell and I have no alone time or space. I can't live like this anymore but also can't imagine throwing my father out on the street. I feel trapped and I feel like this will be my life for the rest of forever as he has no savings, no retirement and no will to better himself.

I sometimes just imagine driving my car off a bridge so I don't have to deal with this anymore. I am so unhappy.

I don't know what to say to him or do anymore. I wanted to know if anyone had to live a similar situation and had advice.

He has health problems and no insurance and no money. I just don't know what to do anymore. [/quote]
