I've been there, initially I was devastated it crushed me emotionally and greatly affected my health, still dealing with that now. But one day a switch in my head flipped and I realized I had to be there for my father and not think of myself. I know people that never got to that point, I had an aunt that never recovered when my uncle got leukemia, she got much worse after he passed. In her situation I wish she had sought help I was too young at the time to know what to do or try to get her help.
Sadly a few years later she also passed away the stress literally killed her. I don't want to be too much of a downer but my point is if you see anyone in a bad way get them help, I still think about my aunt and what she went through and wonder if I could have done anything.
