[QUOTE="finntasticemma, post: 905752, member: 42643"] Hi there, I would be inclined to encourage your Dad to get some counselling' the GP should be able to refer him or, if you are lucky, some health authorities now run self referral schemes. It sounds like he has been hit with some awful health problems in a short space of time and these May have affected him more then he's let on - the diabetes could be the final straw. You sound like you are fairly close with your Dad, maybe have gentle chats, ask him how he feels and if he doesn't want to talk about it then don't push the point. He will get there, some people just need a little longer than others and to have their hands held gently and to know, that no matter what they are loved. I wish you and your Dad all the best x [/QUOTE]
