I’ve been in a similar spot, and honestly, what helped me the most was setting some boundaries. It felt rough at first, like I was letting them down, but I realized you can still care for someone without trying to fix everything for them.Well, sometimes, stepping back from certain situations is what you need to protect yourself. It’s not about giving up—it’s about not letting their choices pull you under, too.If your dad ever decides he’s ready to turn things around, you could mention that someone I know was at Abbeycare, and it made a huge difference for them.
