I phoned the care home this morning to tell them I was stuck at home as highway maintenance had decided to re tarmac my road and I didn't get my car moved before they blocked me in. Good job I phoned before turning up. Dad had started the day happy enough, he was having a joke with them, but half an hour later he was saying I had stolen his money and he never wanted to see me and he hated the care home. He was quite violent and was throwing remote controls and books around his room. So a decision had to be made and I called his social worker. He needs his case re-opening and reassessed. The care home are calling the mental health team to get some kind of diagnosis for him. This cannot go on. I am seriously considering just walking away and letting h get on with his life without me. Throughout my whole life with him, he's blamed me for when things have gone bad. I couldn't do much about it when I was younger but I'm dammed if I'm going to let him make me feel like I'm the bad guy after everything I've done. I'm a wife and a mother and I have my own family to protect. If he is assessed as being mentally incompetent then the council will have to take control of his money. I will not be accused of theft again. It's dragging me down.
