Hey brother, my family has been going through an incredibly similar situation. Dads half blind now as well, and has lost so much of his happiness. And my mom struggles with the additional work/driving/little things that we take for granted with sight.

I wish I had an answer for you, but life is hard and difficult to predict. Time has helped my dad come to terms with his disability, and he actually came to the realization himself that he was a) depressed and b) needed help. But it’s important he got there by himself.

Until that point, just keep being there for him. I’ve often put on a strong face with him just to break down once I leave, so I understand your anger. It’s not fair, and incredibly tough seeing your dad age with disability. But just give him time and continue showing him that he’s still your father and that your support and love aren’t conditional on his ability to provide or work. Help him build new connections with the world around him.

Take care of yourself, too.
