[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s going to take a MASSIVE toll on you and also on your spouse and your marriage. You will get burned out. You will not be able to travel. You will feel like you can’t leave your father at home. You will grow resentful. It will wear you down physically, emotionally, and mentally. Hire outside help to give yourself a break. As a PP said, use that time to figure out your father’s financial situation and find an assisted living facility. You will feel bad no matter which direction you go in. But the greatest good for the greatest number is the assisted living facility option. He will have some people his own age. You can visit him and take him for outings or to your house, so that the time you have together is nicer. Even when he’s in assisted living, you will be plenty involved. It you can’t keep on the way you’re going, and if your siblings are willing to help, that’s great. Maybe they can help find a facility for your dad. [/quote]
