I agree with Jane, you may be in over your head with this guy. My faith teaches me to care for the needy, my human nature says he brought this on himself. Turning him out, even to good resource is guilt provoking all by itself. The issue for me isn't what it's doing to you. We already know that. For me it's you, him, and everyone around you. What are you doing to your corner of the world by caring for this man as you are. Are there others who need your efforts, your kindness, your humor, or what ever gifts you have to offer? And, what harm does the natural anger you're feeling doing to you, to him, and to others who care for you and receive from you. Tough spot to be in, most assuredly. Is there someone close by that can help you sort it out without introjecting their opinions?

@godsgiver What a difficult situation you are in. I agree with @jimwills that now is a time to look all around and see what this situation is doing to everyone, but especially you. Your background in mental health makes you very valuable. You shouldn’t have to take the abuse from him or the uncaring attitude from his family. Maybe sit and have a family conference and just say, ‘I can’t do this anymore. What ideas do the rest of you have?’ He’s their father . Please let us know what you are able to do.
