Once again many thanks to those who have responded to me. It goes some way to restoring my faith in human nature. Good luck to you all
Homerton, it appears that you may be fairly new to this forum and so you may also be new to caregiving. Asking questions here is a good way to get opinions, which you now know can vary based on the different experiences that caregivers have had. Most questions asked usually have no single answer that provides the ultimate solution and, instead, result in getting a variety of good, but differing, answers from which you get to pick and choose what best helps you in your situation. Again, best wishes in your caregiving endeavors.
Based on the words you used to describe your stepfather, it sounds like you are sensitive to his feelings, which is important but too often neglected during the heat of the moment of solving immediate problems. Best wishes.
