I watched god turn his back on my father last week. As tears rolled down his face and mine- I literally felt that I was abandoning him- i think I could have had a nervous breakdown.
What could my father have done so badly for such a tragic story. I'm not certain, but I think my father is ready to die. In my fathers broken words- he told my mom last week that he wanted to go live with his mom and dad. His mom and dad are six feet under- have been for over thirty years. He has no one but mom and I. We who want to help him so much have hit so many brick walls that this task is almost impossible.
I am perplexed!!!! Is it bad Karma? What???? What is it??? A man who has FIVE children is alone. FIVE children that he raised!!! What skeletons are in his closet? I don't know. Not even sure if i want to know. If I did it would explain so much. It would help me understand why this is happening to him. He's 72 years old. WTF?
I want to pour out all the details of this hell he is in but I'm too disgusted to even type it.
You know, when my dad first had his stroke, my Christian brother said to me, "Maybe god is trying to get your attention and you need to get back in church." If this is true then here is my message to god- "Yeah, you've got my attention- are you done now? Cause this is getting really old."
I'm angry. Frustrated that my father has to go through this. Frustrated that people are taking advantage of my sick father. Frustrated that I now have to get a lawyer for my father so that he does not get robbed of everything he's worked for. FRUSTRATED.
