If you don't know the story here is a short version. My dad has VD and Alzhiemers, my mum was abusive to myself and my 3 siblings as children and she is now the same to my dad. He had a hernia opperation today (2nd July) and my mum refused to go to collect him so myself, my husband and my 2 youngest children had to drive an hour to collect him. Short story, he broke down saying he didn't want to go back to her, he was shaking and crying. We took him home and mum didn't even speak to him and refused to listen when I told her how to care for him after the op. Dad was so scared and upset that I grabbed his clothes, meds etc and told mum we were taking him home with us for a while. She didn't bat an eyelid. She has been saying he refuses to eat but when I offered him something he agreed, I gave him tinned spaghetti on toast and he ate it like a starving man. He is a different man, cheerful and so much more "with it", not showing half as much of his confusion as when he was at home.
The question is, what do we do now? I don't think he will go back home and we don't have room for him. He is in my daughters bed and she is on a blow up mattress on my sons bedroom floor. My son is autistic and home educated so I have my work cut out with him already. What can I do for dad now?
