Dinah,
After my dad passed away, my mom became extremely dependent on me. After talking a great deal about this in therapy, I've taken a step back. Actually, quite a few steps back. And you know what? She's taking care of herself, now. And it hasn't destroyed me, her, or our relationship. Every situation and family is different, but I'm hoping the same can happen for you and your dad. It sounds like you're being honest about how much you can handle and that's the first step. Good for you!
And, of course, we're here if it gets to be too much.
Take care,
All Done
