Carol, I'm glad to hear that your husband seems to be doing well, and send him lots of healing vibes.
As for your father, let me just say that it's hard enough to take an elderly parent into your home and care for him, when you have a good relationship -- I know -- I've been there. No parent has the right to expect you to take that on, if he is not going to be decent with you. It sounds as if there is little likelihood that he will be any different than he has been previously, but I think Yosemite had the best appoach. At any rate, please be strong, and don't let him manipulate you into another abusive situation. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
