My dad has been staying with me this past week. For those who dont know his is homeless because of the choices he has made. Two years ago I tried to have him stay here but in the end I had to throw him out. Since then I would hear from him from time to time. He had been staying with some "friends" or in his storage, even just sleeping where he was for the night. This week has been pretty hard for me. The financial burden of supporting another person has not kicked in yet. I have avoided asking him "so how long are you staying". I already know his answer. If he leaves here he will have no where else to stay. I know it sounds harsh but I really dont want to be burdened with this. I tried to help. Others have helped in one way or another but he has yet to really commit to a plan to get him back on his feet. I know there are places out there that will help but he has to make that effort himself. Im getting a little sidetracked. I have in a way also enjoyed him here. There have been so many little questions that I have wanted to ask him. Questions that most people would take for granted. Most people can pick up the phone and call their loved one. Health wise I know my times with him are getting shorter and shorter. I want to make the time last but I dont know at what cost. Ive played both sides of the situation, from "Hes family, you have to help", to "you have done as much as you could but its up to him to change." Somehow I feel Im never going to have an answer.
