I am an 80 year old woman that is hearing impaired and have a pacemaker. I am trying to care for my 65-year-old son that is blind and on dialysis 3 times a week. My problem is he tried to commit suicide and I brought him home with me. I think he has mental problems. He is not abusive but there is something wrong with him; all he does is eat and sleep doesn't care about anything else. He makes me forget things. I'm just so confused, I don't know where to go, I just know I don't want him here pulling my health down anymore. I forget to take my meds, he is up at 5:30 Am, hungry expecting me to fix his breakfast and I am sick and tired of it. Where do I go from here for help? He has to go I cannot take it anymore
