Dad is only about a mile away, I visit him every day, and have been doing so for the last 2 weeks.
The problem is I don't know if this is helping him. He's very depressed just now, wanting to leave the place, but that's not possible. So my visit is mostly him complaining to me about the situation, and giving me a lot of grief for not helping him to leave.
I don't blame him, I would be depressed if I was in there, but the daily visits are a struggle emotionaly. If I don't go, the guilt is as bad as the stress I feel while visiting.
I don't know what to do. I feel i'm abandoning him if I let it go a day.
