Hi my name is mandy and I'm feeling angry ,depressed and fed up.
I currently am caring for my dad ,my mum passed 2yrs ago and my dad has had various medical issues and is now housebound with possible vascular dementia.
I have a family and work partime and my dad has 2 carers a day that give him his medication and other things to help.
Unfortunately my dad has no enthusiasm for life he won't ring anyone go to any groups or socialise in anyway but hates being on his own. He's currently on antidepressants but is down most days.
I do his shopping do his washing I clean his house and try and take him out when I can.
He asks me every day what are we doing today and when I explain I cant come in due to wrk he starts getting funny with me then starts his manipulative behaviour in the hope I will drop everything for him.
I feel Immense sadness for him as hes a lost soul but won't help himself!!! I'm at the end of my tether.
I'm under the doctor myself with depression but I'm an only child so it all falls on my shoulders
