Trouble with dad

[nic01]

Hi, I've been having trouble with my dad, who is the other caregiver to my mom, who has ALS. Now, he does take her to her doctors appt. and makes all the necessary phone call, but that's about it. He leaves the rest of it to me when he can. I don't know how many things I've had to cancel because we couldn't get anyone to stay with her. I don't mind, I love her, but some help would be nice! I thinks he thinks we sit around and drink coffee all day! I am up and down constantly, getting her what she needs, getting her dressed, taking her to the bathroom, etc. He's a hard man to talk to because he keeps his feelings all bottled up, and I've always been a little intimidated by him. I feel better today because I got to go work out, and that always helps. But I'm home now, so back to work. Please don't get me wrong, I love and adore my mother, I would just like so more help. Maybe I just needed to vent.
Thanks for listening
Jennifer
