[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 744367, member: 18958"] I hear the noise too. For me it is a boom boom boom. Like a bass drum. We went all over the neighborhood to find the culprit who played music in the middle of the night...for weeks. It has to do with hearing loss. I found a way to deal with it. One way is I turn the TV sound up. (Smile). This is very common. There are no remedies. There are strategies to deal with it. But your dad seems unlikely to be open to learning them. The noise could also be a psychological symptom for your dad. The assisted living will have a staff psychiatrist. There could be medication that will help him. I agree with the others. Daughter, son and Dad need to deal with their real lives. You can't take away the pain of real life. You can love them and be there. But that is not the same as being a universal shock absorber. You absorbing the blows does not work and it is killing for you. Your son sounds addicted to gaming. Has that been broached to him? I agree with the others. Until he is willing to confront himself and take responsibility to do what it takes to change, you may be throwing money down a hole with the psychiatrist. I would not take his mistreatment. It's one thing to sit and talk. It's another to let him scapegoat and bash you. [/QUOTE]
