Feeling overwhelmed. Trying so hard not to show my frustration in front of Dad. Don’t want him to feel worse.

Dad has broken phones 3 times this year. He just washed his phone an hour ago. No idea I come up with helps.

His immediate response is to buy a new one which doesn’t make sense. He has insurance on them. He can’t just get a new phone because he got tricked into leasing this phone for years or he has to pay the balance that’s still at like $500.

He had a backup phone….but destroyed it. Now one of my phones that is tied into my daily work is his backup phone. And he’s damaged that one which I don’t carry insurance on because I don’t lose or break my phones.

Again, I have to reset that phone and put him on it while I go through the insurance process. And setting him up at least two more times is such a challenge because even though I beg him to not recover/change his passwords when he can’t figure something out, he does it anyway.

Just venting. It’s just the same shit over and over and over again. There seems no amount of attention I can keep on him to stop the chaos.

Just as CanIPlay2 says, you can shop for "refurbished" and old phones for less than what you are paying for.

It's not a full solution, but it will cut down your dept you are accumulating

It’s to be considered. Hectic time right now.

Having a house built that we can cohabitate in. Coverage is unknown even after looking at coverage maps. That’s 2 months plus any delays away.

Currently high up on a mountain in a beautiful, very fancy place. Temporary, short-term rental as we wait. Just got here Sunday after a hellish move from my house and his house that saw him, of course, get sick and my worthless brother barely helping.

I hate feeling so negative. My liver doesn’t like it either.

Hey. Sorry if mentioning how nice this place is sounded stuck up. I meant to say this is way nicer than real life and I’d like to enjoy it.
