Been laying around trying to rest my leg to keep the pain down I been hearing dad come in and out all morning, knowing in my head I need to get up and see what he is doing I didn't.


Finally I get up to go to the bathroom and Dad comes through and says I tooks all your fishing stuff out of your boat Rods, Reels, Lures, everything and brought into the spare room. I just about lost it. I said why did you bring it in the house. I had my stuff where I wanted it IN THE BOAT TO FISH WITH. I'm one of those ppl that has everything in a specific place in my boat where its easy for me to get too and where I know where it is, well not any more :mad:. Every time he buys a boat he takes his stuff and puts in there then a month later when he sells it he puts it back in mine and says we just need to put our stuff together and I have told him not to mix his stuff up with mine because next month when he buys another boat thats hes gonna get burnt on he takes his stuff and half of mine and puts in his. It makes me so dang mad I can't stand it. That's what you get when you deal with a extreme Bi polar Senior Parent, anyone else I would have prolly ended up going completely off on but I have to just keep my mouth shut with him. So Now all my fishing lures crank baits spinner baits buzz baits worms lizards flies everything he just put with his again when he just done this 3 months ago and then took all my stuff when he bought his last boat I spent three months buys lures getting everything back he took kept it in my room forever just took it out to my boat 2 weeks ago and out it all my 7 tackle boxes. Guess where there at now with my rods and reels nets minnow buckets ETC. mixed up with his again!!!!!!!!! his head he can't stand it he has to be messing with something he also tore up my batt charger this morning.

Last week I heard a noise in the house went outside went out there and he was beating on the deck of my $5,000 Cub Cadet Mower with a sledge Hammer I screamed stop it what are you doing. He said the wheel is crooked. I said you don't hit on it with a sledge hammer and nothing even supporting it on jack stands he bout broke the deck off the mower, I had to make him stop we got in a fight I was hurting but had to take my welder and straighten the wheel so he could take it off the jack stand and not even mow right then it couldn't wait. Lord it just drives me crazy sometimes. I'm glad I'm not bi-polar I think its the closet thing to Alzheimer's there is when its extreme cases like his Don't take me wrong I love my DAD more than anything but sometimes it just hard to deal with things when you have to treat you dad like he's your kid sometimes. It makes me feel bad but if I don't say something every once in a while every thing here would be in pieces

Curtis, It is tough to be in a situation like that, even more so with a loved one.
I know you love your Dad, and you just sometimes have to play the "Tough Love" with your love ones.
Good luck.

I understand completely. I have no idea what I am coming home to every day with my wife. She too likes to "put things away", especially my things. I try my best to not lose my cool, but it is extremely difficult sometimes. Just the other day she took upon herself to put all my hunting stuff "up". She doesn't remember where she put a Benelli I had borrowed from a friend. I know it is here somewhere, but it might take me a month to find it, and then it will make absolutely no sense being where she put it. When she is in that mode, she has to be moving things around. When it gets really bad she even starts rearranging rooms in the house.

I know you understand Diehard after our conversation when you were here. It does not mean I love him any less. In fact I dunno what I would do with out him but its just that sometimes it just gets to me and I have to vent to someone.

Curtis dad was the same way. Bi-polar loved ones can really devastate a family.
