Hi /adv/. My 49 year old dad just suffered a mini-stoke, and

let him die
you should not be shackled by anyone ever

Talk to him about working with him to move out of there. I hope he's open to the idea. Regardless, I helped my dad recover from his TIA and high blood pressure by convincing him to go vegan, feeding him 10 cloves of raw garlic in boiled cabbage per day, plus 20 hawthorn and 20 valerian capsules per day, plus about 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper per day. That got him over the hump and now he takes the hawthorn, garlic, and cayenne to taste only. I have also heard passionflower lowers blood pressure. These remedies worked, and they worked within two weeks. The brain fog cleared up and he went back to work. Seriously though, put him on a vegan diet if you do nothing else. With B12 supplements.

OP here, I am a vegan and I know my dad won't go for that. I am cooking more plant-based meals for him now and he seems to be liking them? But it's only been a few days.

Glad to see you have your priorities right, your convenience ranking higher than your father's health.

There will always be nursing homes to dump him in and forget him.

Where is your mother in this picture?

That's not it. I just don't want to give up everything I have going for me in my life just to take care of my dad. Don't get me wrong, I love my dad. But growing up was hell, I was abused by both my mother and my step-mother, and my dad never seemed to care. He has a closer bond with the rest of my siblings and step siblings than he had with me growing up.

It is only now that the other two have gone on with their lives that he and I have gotten close. But when they are around, I'm quickly knocked back down on the totem poll, and he's quick to get angry with me or put me down.

I won't go into details about my life, but it's been hard to make it by myself with no support, but I've managed to, and I have plans to leave this city next year, start college, and start living my life. I'm not compromising that simply because I'm the last person to seemingly "get my life together"

I've always been the one making sacrifices, baby sitting, and making sure everything has been in order for everybody else to achieve what they want to do. I'm not going to give up the rest of my life doing the same thing and in so, giving up my chance of living the one and only life I have.

My dad is divorced and single. My brother lives in Wyoming, and my younger step-sister lives with her boyfriend.

Can you and your brother split the cost of a home care nurse? or will insurance pay for it? Friend of mine had this same issue with her dad, but her mom took care of all the medical care.

I had a discussion with a teacher of mine some days ago very related to this. He told me that he is trying to apply for a scholarship outside the country but as the only sibling in the city he has to take care of his parents who are still alive.

He told me that if his scholarship ever gets accepted he will take it without a doubt and that, heartless as it may sound, his siblings and parents will have to somehow deal with it since it will not be his problem anymore.

It sounds cruel, but he told me that he has to live his own life and that if he ever gives up his dreams just to take care of his parents he will regret it his whole life. Because it will not be his parent's fault, it will be his own for not taking the chance to live his own life.

that's why you have to live your own life, Anon, if you care about your father talk with him and try to at least make sure he has a plan for when you are not around, if he refuses to acknowledge it and there is no more options then i'm sorry for him because you have to do what you have to do.
