You have always been such a kind and very helpful forumite friend and I admire your courage and strength with what you have to deal with on a daily basis.

@outlander I feel for you and think you're doing an amazing job. I cared for my late father for three years without family support. I worked full-time and had physical and mental health issues. We had paid help for housework and garden or I couldn't have coped. Dad decided to accept an aged care place when it was offered - his decision Please know you're not alone. Happy to talk if you'd like. Take care.
Dimity.

@outlandermaybe it is time for you to show your family how fragile you are feeling. Have you ever thought of taking pop to your family and leaving him on their doorstep....it sounds tough but you must get them to realise how desperate you are. You will only make youself sick if you dont. Love always peaxxxxx

@outlander I agree with @Bunniekins . I've had a 3-year nervous breakdown and it irrevocably changed me. It was the worst time of my life.
Your Pop is only going to get harder to deal with as his illness progresses. Meaning things will only get worse for you. I know you said you're not the type to walk away...but if you don't, you may risk a full mental collapse. And maybe physical collapse as well, as the stress comes out in the body. Sometimes the sensible thing to do is to walk away.
