So my girlfriend of a year finally broke up with me. Took me off guard, since I thought we were doing pretty good.
Kind of sucks, since This is the second time she broke up with me. After a couple months, she begged me to take her back, so I did, against my own advice, knowing this exact thing was going to happen again.
I like to think I took her back because the sex was good, but I think really it was because I missed her. Oh well.
Anyways, to top it off, I've been off taxable work since April with a back & neck injury, with no money coming in. I was on Medical Employment Insurance, which is only handed out for the first 15 weeks, which has now expired. I tried hard at getting a job, but there is no such job that will cater to a gimp who can't work full time, can't stand or sit for prolonged periods of time, and has to take frequent breaks.
Another stressful situation is my grandfather and parents. He's got dementia, and, like my grandmother who is in a home for Alzheimer's, he's getting completely forgetful and is no longer making sense. My parents have to try and move him in to their current residence, which causes for even more problems since he can't climb stairs, and that's the only location of a big enough room for him. I feel quite useless.
So there yar be. My rant.
Realistically, I could move into my grandfather's house, however the place is so run down, that it's already extremely unhealthy for him to live there, and it would cost too much to try and have the place up to living conditions, whom no one is willing to pay. Plus, I don't think I could handle taking care of him.

. I used to take care of a woman with Alzheimer's for many years from her first onset until the end, and it was very hard to deal with and I wasn't even a family member. The whole family has to get in there and take responsibility, you will drive yourself insane to try and take care of him by yourself. You may have to bug the crap out of your parents if they are unwilling. It will make it easier on everyone if all is involved.
