I'm struggling

Less than one minute read time.

I am really struggling here, my dad (I am his only child) is in the final few months, probably weeks. He is at home at my house I have two teenage children and a husband.

My dad is always rude and snappy and wants to know why I am not doing things quick enough for him. He doesn't want to go to a hospice and I don't want him to either but I am scared about losing everything including my mind and then I feel selfish because of the position he is in.

Is it right to be angry at him? It is not his fault and he has fought so valiantly and proudly for the last 14 years. But I don't know what to do for the last few weeks.

I have never felt so sad, amgry, lost or pathetic in my whole life and there is no one I can talk to because he is only my dad no one elses so no one else will feel the same as I do.

Sorry to go on I hate myself for it :(

    Hi Sharron, thank you for your kind words.

    As you say, one of the great things about this site is that you know you are never alone. There is always someone who understands. I don't tend to go on chat very often, but found just after dad's funeral I had fallen out with my sister and some other family members were spreading really nasty stories about me.  I had too much to drink and was looking through the site, getting very upset and decided to go into chat (it was about half one in the morning) and found people there to offload to. I felt so much better. There is almost always someone online when we need them. Yes, it's a great place to be.

    Hope you and your family have a lovely weekend.

    Take care, Christine xx
