Hi everyone, hope you're all well.
It's pretty much impossible to get my dad out of bed. Since he stays in bed all day he doesn't want to sleep at night properly. I talked to the helpline and asked them for advice and the most I got told to do was to reset his sleep schedule. He won't do anything. It doesn't matter what I try whether I bribe him or not he just goes straight back to bed within 10 minutes, or just won't get up. He ignores me and puts the covers over his head, it's like dealing with a child. The problem is he's always been really defiant, arrogant and apathetic (towards me mostly) so it doesn't really suprise me it's worse now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He never wants to go out, do activities or anything. He's never cared to do anything much with me in the past really (and by past I mean my entire 19 years of being alive), so it kind of makes sense he doesn't want to do anything with me now lol. He yells at you and bats away and just goes to sleep. It also means he doesn't eat properly.
At my limit now, really getting on my nerves and like I've mentioned before I cannot get support for him at the moment. Can't stand him getting up all night, opening the doors and getting food at night and making a huge mess of crumbs, cutlery jam and bread in the kitchen. Then going back to bed and making yelling noises all night. Rinse and repeat. All night.
Any ideas?
