I think you are giving too much of yourself to everyone else. I was guilty of the same thing for many years. It's hard to find the energy to put back in your life while you are doing so much for your family. I'm sure you have your reasons for doing so, but it isn't helping you. It may feel selfish, but you may have to tell your dad "Look, I can help to a point, but I have a life to live, too." Is there any way that you (or maybe you and other family members) could afford to hire part time help to help your parents around the house? You are taking on too much for one person to handle. I hope you don't think I'm out of line for giving you this advice.
