So sorry you AND your father are having to live with this. Did you have a big falling out? Why did he suddenly decide to kick you out? Is he annoyed by your pets? Persons who serve in combat in ANY war have been effected by the experience. My father was a WWII vet who served in the South Pacific suffered from PTSD although they didn't call it that then. Several of my friends who served in Viet Nam have mood disorders and other mental issues. Sadly, this also affects their friends and particularly their families. The VA here has support groups for caregivers and may have them in your location. Some are available online.

No he actually likes my pups. When he “went down” as he refers to I was sleeping and he tried calling me but my phone was either downstairs or dead or mistakingly on silent. He was able to walk then opened my door and yelled at me for sleeping and not answering my phone. The next morning I drove him to the hospital. He was in hospital for a week. Meanwhile, I’m coordinating house renovations, texting him every day for his medical updates, responding to all his requests, had a car accident and dealing with rental, ins etc, He was fine with me the whole time until he saw me on the house camera return with 2 coffees for a friend who helps me around the house, rides until I get rental etc. My father has 7 cameras around the house. So when he saw that he texted I had time to get coffee but not visit him in hospital.
