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.
