When was the last time he was out of the house for a few days visiting with family or something?
Your mother has been with him for 40 years because he's a good man and she loves him, honor that. She can't take care of him or herself so step up with love. Don't put your anger on your father, it's not his fault. Its nobodies fault.
He needs your help coping. Stop judging him & love him, help him. What else does he have to do? Drink more? Get angrier? Get sadder? Are you going to force him to lose every shred of dignity first?
Your anger drains energy from this situation. Your love, understanding, time & energy will make this situation something it was meant to be, something you hope will be done for you.
He lives with this day in day out thinking there's no good option.
Be angry at the disease. The victims are your mother & father, and you, in order of importance.
