So yeah i get that it's turned his life upside down aswell.

My brother does live close by and needs to get his ass down more often. I think sometimes he feels the less he knows the better.

We could all do that. I could go weeks at a time without seeing them. But i visit each day. Some short visits, so visits for hours taking up much of my nights at times.

So i try do as much work as possible as early as possible...
Would it be possible for you or your brother to go out to the bar with your dad to watch a game while the other one of you sit with mom? I bet that would be very welcome. Your mom might appreciate some time away from your dad, also. Maybe take her out to the mall for some walking and new scenery?
