I'm afraid to move out now.

Within the span of five days, My dad has:

-walked out of the house three days in a row without closing the garage door... or the door TO the garage first. [and this isn't the first time he's done that, either...]
-thrown out bank statements, including a credit card replacement. [WHICH HE DID LAST YEAR TOO.]
-lit the stove on fire and spent about two minutes standing in front of it panicking like a Sims character. I had to put the fire out myself.
-Left ground beef and ground turkey on the counter at room temperature for five hours straight because he "didn't know where to put it". Apparently, it never occurred to him to try putting it inside this thing called the "Refrigerator" that is literally less than a meter away from the countertop...
-Tried to make BBQ pulled pork in the crockpot... and never turned it on.
-Ignored his "Fuel level low" light for about two days, then was surprised his car ran out of gas.
-Flushed a washcloth down the toilet, causing it to back up and then walked away, letting the toilet flood all over the second floor. Guess who got to clean that up?
-Stepped in dog crap and smeared it all over the kitchen floor
-Dropped a can of soda on the ground and then opened it.
-mistook a bottle of Captain Morgan's for Coconut Water. (And INSISTS that he doesn't need glasses...) By the way, he didn't even pour himself a glass, he picked up teh much larger glass bottle of Captain Morgan's and started drinking from it.
-Ran the dishwasher for me... with the cups upside down and put handsoap inside the dishwasher.
-Made the same wrong turn down a one-way road three times in the span of half an hour.

I'm afraid if I move to another town or even another state (like if I get the Disney internship) i'll return to find him in the Darwin awards...

I can see why you'd be afraid. You wouldn't know if he would accidentally kill or injure himself were he left alone.

I wonder if he depends too much on others to think for him, and that's why he can't think for himself...

It sounds like your dad is having some pretty significant memory loss. Has he been to a doctor about this?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Yeah, sounds like he's got a case of old.

[QUOTE="CaptHayfever, post: 1453301, member: 25169"]It sounds like your dad is having some pretty significant memory loss. Has he been to a doctor about this?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"[/QUOTE]

If this keeps up, he will - everyone's had bouts of sudden balloon-headedness or sudden space-cadet syndrome. (My sister had it all the time when she was 12. She once put the phone inside the fridge.) if it's consistent, then we're making absolute sure he's going to the doctor's since there's something going wrong.

The reason we're not sending him right now is because he's under job stress and some people get extremely ditzy in their home life.

[and oh yeah, thank you dad for not telling me until about a day after you mistook my Captain Morgan's for coconut water that you spat it back out in the bottle. I have to throw the entire bottle out now. -_- ]

Yeah, it sounds like it could be stress. Even if you do move out, though, he will have people to care for him and make sure he gets any necessary medical help he needs.

(my dad once blew on ice cream because it was too cold. to cool it down. my brother and I will never let him live this down)
