Elaine, you are not alone. My Mom has a form of Parkinsons and has fallen twice to break both hips. She is very depressed and unfortunately the meds make it worse. My sister lives next door to her (200 miles from me) and has power of attorney, but won't move her to assisted living, eventhough the doctors and family think that would be best. I listen to a lot of complaining from my sister, but don't witness the daily heartbreak myself. My Mom came to stay a couple months last Summer and she was mean to my g-kids and me. It's like she's mad at the world since my Dad died.
Please don't be angry at your Dad. I can't imagine the heartbreak he's feeling for himself, your Mom, and you.
