Re: Depression Dementia Dad

Dad asked me to pack his stuff and take him home again today. When I said we can't he asked me to get another bed next to him. I had to say I can't do that either. This breaks my heart.

Re: Depression Dementia Dad

Thanks @Former-Member, today dad wouldn't let Bro4 take him out for their usual coffee unless he packed up his room and bought him home. He apparently stubbornly sat there, and said hell wait for me. Bro4 tried to talk with Del Director who was at a meeting. I feel like I bought this all on myself and maybe he's better off if I never came back. Yes, living grief is hard, probably because its so damn confusing... I feel paralysed.

Re: Depression Dementia Dad

Think my bro4 has lost the plot, he went off at nursing home staff today when dad refused to go out for coffee with him, he blamed them. I went up shop with him to grab couple things and he drove irratically, rushed but not.
He comes every morning, talks loud, gets agro (not at me, just forced speech), he's really glad I'm hear but its draining. He pops in, walks in whenever he likes, friendly but restless. Bro3 called in today, more calm than I seen him for months, stayed for lunch, didn't visit dad (around the corner), got onto the 'lazor beam' theory... Dad might be better off without me, my being back & Public Guardian thing seems to have exacerbated him too. I gotta get outs here. But what about the dogs? Help!
