@bizi my brothers react in different ways. One brother gets angry and my little brother pretends this isn't even happening. I guess everyone deals with this differently. Its so easy for people to tell me what I should be doing to care for my dad and what I am doing wrong, but they aren't the ones helping me care for him either. Sometimes it would be nice for someone to ask if I need a break and offer to come sit with dad or pick him up for the day. Due to active seizures, he isn't allowed to drive. I have never felt more alone. That's why I joined this forum. At the same time dad has been in the hospital for five days, I'm quite lonely without him being here.

I do have an update on him though: Dad called and said he wants to get sober. He also has an alcohol problem. So that's a step forward. I also asked him if we could create a care plan with the psychiatrist before he is released from the hospital. So hopefully his doctor will call me and schedule a meeting.
