When my mom has a good day, dad is euphoric, but when she has a bad day, dad is totally distraught. Last night was a prime example. I went to his home and he looked like he got the shit beaten out of him. Disheveled and tired ready to give up on everything. This has me worried. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do?
Dad says this is the longest wake he has ever been to b/c he has been in mourning for the past 6 years.
To make matters worse, my sister is basically having a mental/nervous break down. My dad is telling her to seek help but all she will say is I know, I know. He doesn't want to hear about her problems b/c he is worried about my mom and how is he supposed to take care of her when he is not with her 24/7? But he listens and gives her advice but like he says you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. And he has been leading my sister to water for 40 years. Maybe if mom was okay he would be more forceful in telling her what to do but right now he can't.
I can't talk to her b/c we are not on speaking terms and haven't been for 2 years. And even if we were I still couldn't speak w/her because we are polar opposites. We have nothing in common. NOTHING and I would probably tell her the same thing dad is telling her and if she's not listening to dad why would she ever listen to me?????
Highs are high and lows are low and we are at a low point right now. And, unfortunately, I really don't think this is the lowest it is going to go.
