Thank you, thank you everyone for the sincere replies.
I know that from my post it seems like I'm complaining, but I'm not and couldn't, as I'm not the main caregiver and my mom who takes care of my dad and the bussiness does not ever complain. Tonight I was talking on the phone with her and as always I asked her if she was tired and stressed about the situation. She told me to stop asking that and that it made her angry because she didn't think about it and accepted the situation.
Despite that, I know it hard for her and I feel guilty as I can't be there with them.
It is hard to admit that stroke stinks. I guess it is because it's socially unacceptable to admit your weaknesses.
When my father stroked, I took a week off from work and when I returned people were concerned and wanted to know about stroke, so I made a brief document from reliable sources about it and handed to several of them. Some of them are trying to lead a healthier lifestyle. :-)
I do a list of 5 things I'm grateful for often and I still have more than 5 things. Tonight's list would be something like this:
+ My father, who isn't giving up and has made progress.
+ My mom, for being strong and optimistic. I would be a mess if it weren't for her.
+ My friends, for being real friends.
+ The guy I'm seeing, because he's very cute and for being who he is.
+ My pets: Nina the Cat, who liked to nap on my dad's chest and purr and she makes him smile. Whoever said that cats weren't loyal was very wrong. Tobias and Tubi: the pigs. They make my mom laugh. We have 2 tortoises but they're not very socialble :p
Then, I have more things to be grateful for, but I think it's wonderful that the top 5 is of people/pets.
cdewald, my pigs are: Tobias (AKA Toto) and Tubi
Toto is the round one and Tubi is the small one. I love them so much!
