I can really understand and feel what you are going through. My mother does not have bi-polar but was diagnosed with depression a year ago. It is really very draining on all of us.

It is difficult to see how once your parents were up and about and normal. (what ever normal really is) To see how they are now. It is like they did for you when you were young and now that they are old the roles are reversed.

I find just taking it one day at a time. It is difficult because my mom now just sits in her recliner all day and does not even get up to go to the bathroom. So now we have a PCA who comes in and it takes the weight off of us a bit.

Know that you are not alone that there are many who are going through this with aging parents. Keep me posted on how it is going with your dad.
