takingfive answered Sunday May 2 2004, 3:03 pm: Your dad is probably continuing to do all of this work because he wants to prove to himself and everyone else that he is just as capable as he was before his accident. I think that if you let him know that you're worried about him, maybe the two of you can have a chat about him doing so much hard work, and find out ways that you can help him. It'll mean wonders to him to know that you care about him so much, and hey, what dad wouldn't like a little help around the house? [ takingfive's advice column | Ask takingfive A Question ]
