I’m dying here. Real life allies don’t exist. I hate my existence.

I keep trying. You guys see me sharing fun videos of dad drumming. Even that has turned into chaos.

I don’t know what to do. Dad is racing towards being constantly unmanageable. No one has power of attorney. I have one ally, my “step-uncle.”

I don’t know how I can continue this.

If this sounds familiar to anyone, please reach out to me.

Definitely check with an elder care attorney to see what you can and can't do. Has there been an official medical diagnosis? Official diagnosis is crucial.

Check with his medical coverage-it may pay for a nurse to come in to observe and make official recommendations (more documentation the better for you).

Avoid government provided in home caregivers like the plague they are. Private pay caregivers or assisted living are the only ways to go. Some assisted living will accept Medicare after you've done private pay for a certain number of years.

Sorry you're dealing with this. It fucking sucks.
