Hey All,
I've been having issues with my dad's temper problem and honestly, I think our situation is one of those "easier said than done" situations. My mom's an enabler by having never left him for his abusive and temper-tantrum-throwin' ways. My dad has a terminal illness that is affected by his high blood pressure, and it's been worsening over the years, and lately over the weeks, because his anger drives up his high blood pressure. He has too much pride to where he will not surcomb to a terapist or psychologist, yet his children (including myself) have sought therapy dealing with his anger issue.
I know you can't force anyone to change or get the help they need, so I'm at the point where I don't want to love him anymore, no matter how sickly he is becoming. I'm tired of crying and hurting over how he treats us and others, and tired of dealing with his anger. Is there any last thing I can try to get him the help he needs?
