[quote=Anonymous]I've been there. Prepare that the verbal attacks and acting out may escalate. At some point you have to draw the line as to if you can subject your kids to the outbursts. We varied between the kids not visiting at times, or visiting with us taking 2 cars so one adult could leave with the kids instantly if needed, while the other adult finished up the visit quickly. Then of course protecting your own mental health and well being.

Is there respite care involved to assist your father? Any services he can access to make his days easier. They burn out. Make sure he is looking after his own health, sometimes they get so focused on caring for the other they overlook their own health issues.

While in my head I know my mom  could not control much of what  she did and said, the relentlessness of it still took a heavy toll. She was so resistant to following any medical advice and often refused any outside help. Sometimes you have to switch focus, to how you can help and advise the stable parent. [/quote]
