Im a carer for my dad, he has a brain injury that has changed his personality. He has a serious temper that can be genuinely scary but it only comes out when he's triggered. I feel helpless as he's a danger to himself in these moments, he doesn't care about consequences and its usually me mopping up the mess. I've reached out for help mulitple times but all I get told is there's nothing they can do. I'm scared I'm going to spend the future constantly worrying and fixing his messes, any advice or info would be greatly appreciated
Hi Chloe, can I ask who do you reach out to?. Do you have to be his carer alone or could you have someone to be a carer alongside you? Adult social services can help you with this if you do not know where to start. It seems a lot to take on board yourself. I am meaning someone part time that could help you in a way that you need. I think it would be worth a call to see what they could offer. Your dad would be assessed both health and financially. Then they would set up a care plan for you. Give them a call and see where it takes you.
Good luck
