This may be the last Thanksgiving I'll get with my dad. At least, the last time he may be able to eat solid food. He has ALS. I got home late last night from the ER because he fell in the bathroom and I had to pick him up. I need to cook some dishes tomorrow but I can barely get off the couch today to go shopping. He's still in the hospital and my partner hardly talked with me last night or comforted me. I feel so fucked up and alone right now.

I’m so sorry. Caregiver stress is terrible. Sending vibes of comfort to you and your dad.

I am so sorry to hear this. Savor the time with him this week. As for your partner. Maybe just focus on your dad at this time and talk with them as why they were emotional unavailable for you during this time.

Thanks. It's the only thing I can do. I feel like I'm being dramatic but I'm not sure who to talk to about it at this current moment. Luckily I do have therapy tomorrow so that's something.
