Q&A: How to Take Care of My Father?

Question by Alysia: How to take care of my father?
Well, the time has come to ask a question, and a serious one at that. I don’t know how best to take care of my father. He’s been fighting a meth addiction off and on for a few years, but that really isn’t my primary concern. I mean it is, but I don’t know what to do short of an “intervention” and that wouldn’t work on him because of his personality. He is addicted to vicodin among other things. I just don’t know what to do with him because none of his children want to take him in, me included, because he acts so crazy. He will call in the middle of the night and tell us that someone is breaking into his vehicle, when no one is, and he is 100% sure that the CIA and DEA are stationed outside his apartment with “high tech surveillance equipment.” Also he can’t drive because he has mini-seizures and blacks out from time to time. He is 51 years old and I don’t know, but that might be a bit young for a nursing home. I don’t care to hear any insensitive remarks unless you’ve been through this situation.
He called the cops on my twin sister and swears she broke into his apartment and beat him in the head with a hammer and he has a mystery head injury. My twin sister lives… maybe 2 hours south of him, and his two daughters, so it would be physically impossible for her to get there so quick and be gone so quick. Also she is not very mean and/or likely to do such a thing.
I promise you he isn’t doing this to grab for attention. He’s an addict and I can’t just take away his drugs, not to mention I live about 2 hours away from him as well.
Umm … yeah there’s something seriously wrong with him, that’s why I’m asking this question, how dim can you be?

You should take him out back and put a bullet between his eyes.

(I am her twin sister and am joking calm down)
