Hello all,
Please can someone advise me? I live alone with my elderly father. He disregards my diagnosis of ADHD and Asperger's. He refuses to acknowledge any health problems that I may have and claims that I merely set out to give him stress. He asks how he is supposed to live with someone like me (!). I look after him most of the time-cook, clean, wash, iron etc. He says that he is not stopping me from living elsewhere. I would do so if that were financially possible and the GPs have asked if I do not have a friend or somewhere else to live. I do not at the moment. In any case, the house is partly mine and I do not trust my father with its security or that of its contents. -We have already been burgled in the past because of his irresponsibility.- He takes his frustration at his own ailments out on me and is sarcastic or passive-aggressive. I have had to go to the hospital this week owing to sudden high blood pressure. He insists that it is not high although medics say otherwise. I also have gastric problems and I am frightened about the impact of my father's reactions on my own health. He demanded to know what the doctor's advice was this morning and I said that I was told to remove myself from sources of stress and that's why I was going for a walk. He went airborne at this. Does anyone please have any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
