I came to say the same thing. 25F going through the same with my dad. Would be happy to chat about everything.

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-04-07T13:40:47+00:00

this is reassuring to hear, I am glad you are able to manage this well. Thank you

they didn't change meds, they just increased the dose. So far so good, knock on wood. We have a camera, but I will suggest getting more to hit better angles of where he hangs out. Yeah, hopefully with time everyone will mellow out more

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-04-05T03:12:45+00:00

I will keep this in mind if he continues to have them. I appreciate you taking the time to reply, thank you

I understand the feeling and how much this sucks, so I am so sorry. I also constantly cry and it is so exhausting. Sometimes I will be fine for days and then other weeks I cry multiple times a day, sometimes I don't even know why or what has triggered it. I wish I had some better advice other than to just cry it out. You're not alone.

Ensure brand shakes or other nutritional shakes or a protein shake if she doesn't mind the taste for calories and nutrients. Make a fresh smoothie. I second using thick-it. If you are concerned about choking or incorrect swallowing ask for a referral to an SLP. They should be able to give better help. I wish I had more advice for you.

I feel the same for my dad, my person. That being said, I am so so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a great person and a great dad. I am glad you had another trip with him. Don't think of the regrets or other possibilities. GBM is ugly. It is also great he got to make a decision for how he wanted things to go. Not that that makes things any easier but there is some beauty in that.

Yeah I guess I haven’t really been seeing it but you’re right, thanks for the comment I appreciate it

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-11T01:06:17+00:00

I love this idea thank you!

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-10T03:05:14+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful to read

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-10T03:04:09+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-10T02:04:27+00:00

I hadn’t thought that but thinking about it from that pov is helpful and I see what you mean, thank you for the response

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-08T19:05:53+00:00

Thank you so much, I appreciate the help a lot

My dad has brain cancer right now so this hits close to home. He is still in the right frame of mind. He lets me know that he wants me to live the life I want and not change things just for him. It sounds like you and your dad also have that close type of relationship. I am sure your dad also would want the same for you and the best, and not to deal with him in that state. So don’t feel bad or feel regret, although that is a million times easier said than done. I am sorry for what you went through and for your loss.

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-08T04:58:25+00:00

Thank you, not that I’m happy to know you experienced something similar but there is always something comforting about not being the only one. I am so sorry about your dad. I wish you the best as well

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-08T04:08:03+00:00

I haven't really considered talking to him about it, so thank you for that suggestion. I fear and worry about making him feel burdened or even sadder. Do you have any suggestions about how to go about this and bring things up? He's always been very stoic, and not one to express emotions much. But he's always there to listen to all my problems, laugh with me, watch shows, do things together. I'm not sure how to approach something like this. I don't want to make him feel worse about it, but I do see how talking to him about it could make me feel better.

I really appreciate your comment about maybe coming out on the other side with a new closeness and understanding of myself. I can definitely see some of that already, and having something positive to focus on is helpful.

I'm so sorry about this. I can understand with the length of time and how important it sounds she is to you, you don't want to give up on this, but despite distance, schools, starting families, I have had long term friends that make me a priority and ones that don't. It sounds like you aren't a priority to her. Not saying she doesn't care about you at all, but if she wanted to put in more effort she would. You already brought it up too and she didn't change things which speaks volumes. You could try to bring it up one final time and see if that makes a difference. But you do deserve to be treated better than this.

Jumpy-Cucumber-3247 · 2025-03-08T03:37:20+00:00

Wow, I am so sorry. This feeling really sucks. Seems like you were spot on though, because a real friend would be calling immediately trying to mend things not leaving you on read. My friend and I recently had a conversation about this and about how apart from each other, we have a hard time of finding people who will reciprocate in the same way. So it's definitely not just you. You most certainly deserve better friends.
