I’m not looking forward to this. Dad is either losing his marbles or he just doesn’t care. I mean, seriously, why can’t he just follow what the doctors tell him to do. I get so frustrated with his antics. He is making his issues so much worse by not following directions. I just don’t get it, he makes no sense to me. He’s so stubborn and just refuses to see how severe his situation really is.
If dad is going to continue ignoring the doctors and doing whatever he wants, that’s his choice. I’m already taking care of his crops and animals and working a part-time job too. Especially now that Jack is away at school, this full time at the farm then straight to the warehouse is really wearing me down. The younger kids mean well and want to help but it’s too much for me to keep an eye on them at the farm. I’m exhausted and my patience is always thin. Between the two jobs I have almost no time for my family or myself. With the kids needing most of her time, Judy is just as busy. She is even doing some of my chores and helping dad by picking up his groceries and prescriptions. If dad thinks I’m going to help him with more things, especially problems he is creating, he’s nuts! I’m over my limit and I can’t do it. I just can’t possibly do any more.
