Father Christmas
You decide what ruined my Christmas the most: My dad was hospitalized for drinking recently and now that he’s home, I’m the only family member left who will take care of him and help organize his life, since my brother doesn’t have any capacity to care whatsoever and is off having a happy little Christmas of his own with his family.
I came to spend Christmas with my dad even though he’s in a bad mood and argumentative about things. He has carers who come in four times a day between 7 am and 10 pm, which does not change over the holidays. While I was there, I found that two expensive items were taken from his house last night. There are only carers who come in, so it must have been them.
I also had two hours of sleep last night because my dad has a searing toothache and today I’ve had to call the medical care line to book a dental appointment for Sunday for him, so will have to extend my stay with him to take care of that and get him there, even though I can’t drive. There’s no Christmas dinner, nothing special at all, and I’m very tired. ~ Soundasleepx
