I just feel so alone sometimes.

 He has a lot of problems Buddy... !! You guys should understand that and HELP HIM stay calm.. !! You dont have to respond to everything he says..!!
When a person is Sick for a LONG time, he tends to behave this way. The only Cure to this is LOVE and UNDERSTANDING. And believe me, he deserves it from you.. He's you Father..
G'day

I think you all need to sit down as a family and talk things through. I get the impression you all have quite a short temper, you need to learn and practice some more self control.
If you talk about it as a family, don't blame it on your Dad, just address the fact that it makes the situation worse if he's unhappy and in pain.
If you and he are clinically depressed, then you should both be on medication - are you?

I have the same situation with my dad. i dont hate him I dont know what I feel for him anymore. I love him because he is my father. but he has had a number of back surgeries an he is rarely the father that i remember. he abuses his medication and has been in rehab several times. i dotn live there anymore but i worry about my mom. i may not always have to deal with him but she does. it sucks.
