"His world has become so small that his obsessions is all he has." Can we make their world a little larger? Read to them, sing with them, make silly faces? Just saying to try everything, and don't think you always have to be the responsible grown up. I think half the problem is nobody wants to feel dependent on someone else. But if you give someone enough rope to hang themself or have fun (their choice) you have to be willing to accept the consequences. Sometimes people just don't want to live if the life they've got is all they are ever gonna get. No, I don't know the answer. But sometimes you have to stop looking to find it.

Thanks for the reply ruralwannabe. I agree, I think my dad hates what his life has become, but let's face it his world became smaller due to the choices he has made throughout his life. He didn't want to do the work to forge new relationships and now everyone he knew is deceased and he is essentially alone socially. He now keeps himself "entertained" with his obsessions on what ails him. I can't turn back the clock and I am not responsible for the fact that he now does not like the end results of his choices. It's too late now and he has to buck up and make the best of the time he has left without driving those around him (my family and I) nuts.
Thanks again.
