He is no longer your Daddy he is your father, your dad...you are an adult...and he is a sick, nasty old man. So now what?
Don't go so often, why set yourself up for this abuse? He is being cared for, the staff will make him as comfortable as they can.
If he wants to die that is his choice, his right of passage, accept that.
I wish you the best, be strong!
Do remember also that many of us have suggested that you visit less, and for a very brief amount of time. Your visits aren't apparently helping him; not everything can be fixed.
But I am just gonna suck it up and take care of myself. I have too many problems of my own and since I have back surgery coming up I need to concentrate on myself.
So thanks again everyone for responding and knocking me upside the head to make me really understand.
Okay, I am counting on you having a sense of humor please!
Roll Tide? 😮 OMG! My daughter attends LSU! Bama is our enemy! Louisiana is Tiger country! Haha. Hey, don’t tell my daughter but the your coach (former LSU coach) is a great coach!
Thank you for making me laugh!!
I'm curious. What was your relationship with your dad before? You refer to the situation at hand, obviously it is very painful and would hurt anyone.
We all have feelings and do not deserve to be treated poorly. Even if a person is suffering and doesn’t mean to hurt others but rather taking their pain out on others, it still hurts.
We all miss the former person that no longer exists because of a medical issue, illnesses and horrendous diseases. It is perfectly understandable for anyone to feel this way.
You were correct to walk out. You don’t have to go back if you choose not to. You can get updates from your mom. Best wishes to you.
I won't be going back up there very often. I will go with my mother if she needs me to, but I doubt I will be going back on my own. The way he's acting - he doesn't deserve my affection.
Daddy is in the VA home close to us. We put him there in February because of dementia and a couple strokes. We had him home for two months and found out first hand that we could not care for him properly.
His language is nothing....we've talked like that forever. It's not shocking to hear him talk like that. We banter back and forth all the time but not so much lately because he has trouble talking. But he really meant it this time and that's what hurt my feelings. He's always been rude and mean all my life so seeing that he meant it is what hurt my feelings.
As for momma, she is NOT compassionate. She never has been, always pessimistic, she has 3 different faces she present - one is to extended family, one to friends and workplace and the other and the worst one is saved for immediate family. She is hateful, spiteful and god forbid you do anything that pisses her off OR you don't do something she wants to do. She does not know how to apologize and it's been like this for as long as I can remember. She and my sister are tickled to death that he's at the VA, They couldn't be happier that he's not at home anymore.
I know for a fact I will never receive an apology from him - for this or for anything that was said to me - I have already had to accept an apology for something he doesn't remember and even though it crushed me, he's never going to tell me he's sorry. So I've basically already done this.
I also already have a therapist that I see two to three times a month. She's helping me learn how to deal with how he treats me and everything else.
There are other reasons as well, which I will not go into right now.
I do appreciate your responses, hope everyone is having a good Saturday. Roll Tide!
Don’t do what I did in the past. I would excuse their behavior or let resentment build. Not a good thing to do! Deal with it in an objective healthy manner. Seek out a good therapist too.
Time will tell if you need to continue in your relationship with your dad. For now, he has your mom. He is not your responsibility. If he gets to be too much for mom you can help her by looking into where is the best place that can assist his needs.
Unless you're okay being spoken to in such a vulgar manner, I would tell daddy dearest that I am NOT coming back to visit until and unless he picks up the phone, calls me, and apologizes and MEANS it sincerely. And, if it happens again after an apology, you will get up and leave IMMEDIATELY after such words leave his nasty mouth.
Dementia or not, he has no right to use such language with you and he
needs to be TOLD that.
You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and start standing UP for yourself instead. You deserve to be treated with respect, so please demand it.
The people in our family on both sides, husband’s side (his dad) or mine, (mom and brothers) would never, ever apologize to us. They don’t admit to ever being wrong. They justify by blaming others.
