I think what makes it hardest, Sid, is that your father's decline might also be forcing you to grieve the loss of the father you wish you had. That is such a tough thing to go through. As long as our parents are alive, we can harbor hope that they will eventually *get it*. But when they physically die, that hope dies with them.
I am so sorry that you are going through this very difficult thing.
