[quote=Anonymous]You may still be his daughter, but you are also a mother and a wife.  You are asking too much of your family, all in the name of taking care of someone who has been toxic for most of your life.  The fact that in the last couple of years he's been "ok" does not mean it's ok or acceptable to traumatize your own kids (your own words OP) with his "insane behavior".

You need to get your dad out of your house.  Whatever his small pension can pay for, set him up, and possibly ask your siblings to help you in some way or give you advice.  But you cannot destroy your own family for him.  You are looking for some closure with your dad that you're almost definitely not going to get, and putting your family through instability and stress and crazy behavior from your dad is just going to do more damage.

Please get him out of your house.  He may have all kinds of reasons/history for his behavior during his life and he may not be responsible for his demons, but you are absolutely definitely NOT responsible for his problems, and you ARE responsible for taking care of your family and protecting your kids.[/quote]
