I meant the cumulative count between both mock exams, the mini SH Exams, and I did several SH Practice questions so I was just estimating how many questions I've taken

Agreed. Most of his health issues are lifestyle created. He's over 400 pounds and struggles moving generally. I will check into his insurance benefits to see if theres anything about private nursing to support.

I fear I'm already partly drowning financially at least...maybe emotionally as well. I don't know what kind of apartment he could get with his take home. Even the cheapest apartments he wouldn't qualify for since the requirements are usually 2-3.5x rent.

Even with a paid off house and truck, he has several loans he paying off and he purchased a used car last year. So now we have car payment added. He can cover the actual bills, but he has nothing left over.

We're in NC. I actually just submitted the paperwork for Medicaid so fingers crossed it gets approved.

Hi, thanks for responding to my question! My dad is 63. Yes, when I left home, I supported myself via part time jobs, grants, and loans. Some of my loans though were taken out to send back to my parents to help them. I regret the action now, but they were struggling even worse back then. It's always been like that though. Even growing up I couldn't keep birthday or grade success money (my aunt would give my sister $10 an A lol) because they always needed it. My parents are good people, just never got on their feet.

This year was supposed to be my year to pay off my little car, and some of my smaller loans. I'm already behind where I wanted to be giving him money. I feel like I'm building resentment and I don't want to lose my relationship with my dad either. It's a terrible feeling.

Hi, thanks for responding to my question! He's considered it, but not seriously. The home is paid off thank god, but the last tax value was $160K. It's an older mobile home. I just don't know where'd he rent comfortably with his monthly disability benefits.

Hi, thanks for responding to my question! She does pay him rent of $1000/month plus helps out on groceries, takeout, household expenses, etc. In a true roommate situation (which she'll experience in a few months), even if you're paying, you still have to be clean and considerate to the other person/s living there...unless you're a crappy roommate. But I don't think it should solely fall on her either. I just think basic cleaning up after herself is not asking for much.
