Hi Mike,
I'm very well acquainted with the symptoms of depression, having suffered from it myself and sought out both therapy and Prozac to battle it. My father thinks it is all garbage and is resistant to any suggestion that he seek out therapy of any kind
I've tried to convince him that it is real and help is available, to no avail.
I stayed over multiple nights last week (and missed 3 days of work), but I can't do this every week. I'm in my 30s with my own life, family, career, and responsibilities. My parents are taking advantage of my helpfulness and both pulling the victim card. My mother could have taken my father to the ER last Saturday night, but didn't, instead waiting for me to arrive home. There are no friends or family members to ask for help from because the only people who know about my father's cancer are his siblings (in another country) and his coworkers, as he won't tell anyone. It is a very unhealthy situation.
Thanks for your suggestions.
