Hi Lindsay Thanks for your response my dad was settled in Kuwait and my sisters in US but due to no insurance and long flight the only option to get the treatment was India so we travelled to India as i couldn't leave him alone in kuwait. The thing i am worried about is did we do right thing of bringing him here or no. And sometimes i feel he has completely become a negative person specially for his 1st family he complains other people that we don't give him food and sometimes he says these people are always after my life of eating food. We all are cooking for him 18hrs a day but still he finds some or the other complaints about us. In this condition i am unable to cope up with the situation as i literally get no time to give to myself or i takecare of my baby. I am always sad and in stress hope my baby doesn't get affected by my this behaviour.    Thanks!! ... View more

He sometimes get very angry he shouts on anyone and for no reason. He sometimes humiliate Doctors aswell my mom and husband too are trying there best but they too gets scolding for no reason. My dad is very attached to me so whenever he needs something he asks from me even if i am resting at that time of the day or night. He cries alot he has become week loss his hair and i feel sad for him. People say takecare of baby but its difficult to takecare of baby alone or both. ... View more
