Health changes: Sounds like your Dad is depressed. It happens with bad health problems. You can talk to his doctor about the emotional care of your Dad. Imagine what it is like for someone to self realize that illness can actually change the person who you once were. People can adapt and there are success stories. Be sure to care for yourself, your Dad needs you. It must be stressful for the entire family.
