I don't mean to make light of a really difficult situation, but is there anything you can do to make it less difficult? Are you alone? Can you have a back up person for moral support? I know your father is going through a lot, but so are you and the rest of your family.

We had the same dilemma with my grandfather. My grandmother, aunts and uncles were just emotionally drained bc they didn't know how to care for him, but felt guilty about letting the professionals take over. They finally did and he was way better off. He had around the clock care and we were able to visit him when ever we wanted without the concern of whether or not he was getting what he needs.

It sure is, quality is more important than quantity. We were all surprised at the things my grandfather needed that we didn't know. Keep in mind we have 3 doctors in my family and they didn't even know how to care for him bc it's not what they practice. When you're ready, don't feel guilty, just spend as much time as you can with him.

No kidding...except my sister coerced me into a semi-blind date next week. She insists I'm an asshole magnet and I'm not allowed to decide who I can date anymore. I'm going to try it her way and see what happens. It can't get more fucked up than my last effort. My cousin's ER doctor friend is next. So, I guess I'm going on a few dates next week. I just hate dating. It feels like a job interview. Jumping back on the horse...

You must be looking in the wrong places.
Hahahaha I'll make sure I don't go backwards.
I'd like to believe you're right. I must say, when he finds me he's going to reap the benefits of all the assholes I've dealt with, shit if he's just nice and thoughtful he'll already be ahead of the game and be greatly appreciated. I'll make sure he knows it everyday and as often as possible. ;) 😉
I am looking in the wrong places. That's why from now on, my sisters and cousins will be doing the looking. I also need to stop making excuses for the giant red flags.

I think you hit the nail on the head above. I use to do the same thing with people as a whole not just relationships. It cost me much aggravation. 6 Years later I am happily married to a fantastic woman, have a 10 month old baby girl, great relationships with my older daughters and great friends. Some of the friends have been around much more than 6 years but there was a lot of purging along the way.
You can be happy. It takes a lot of work and being honest with yourself. No Excuses!!
