[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you need to really separate the "work" from the relationship. Figure out the list of what he needs to be safe and triage that into what your sibling can do, what your father can do, what a well built support system (doctors, attorney?, neighbors, friends, paid care) can do, and what that leaves.

What do you actually HAVE to do? Get the list of what only you can do clear and focus on that. Then everything else you try to find a solution for, or you knowingly take on as an added/optional element. Treat this all as a business transaction or work task and put all of the emotional stuff in a separate box. You will do your best to keep him safe for as long as you can. That's the minimum and it can also be the maximum.

If you can find money for anything, do. Some sort of weekly aide, or a geriatric social worker to manage his healthcare scheduling, or something like the Senior Villages if they're active in your area, etc...

Also, therapy would help. For sure. But I understand you not wanting to do that, but still...[/quote]
