My elderly father said he went to bed last night and woke up blind, doctors say there may be something wrong with his brain. My Mum who is also very unwell is separated from him after 44 years of marriage but said he could come home and she will look after him until he dies. I just had to share that with someone. :'(
My Dad was a Bastard, but he's my dad you know.

I am sorry to hear about your Dad.
For what it's worth I will keep him in my prayers.

damn that's tough, coping with blindness is something I don't want to experience.
Keep it strong for us getbiggers.. I wish you the best!
-
Stay strong dude,your family will need you more than ever.
That`s a fucking tragedy.......sorry to hear it.

Unless he has some congenital eye diseases or problems in the past with his eyes, sounds like it would be brain-based. Sucks.
Sorry to hear.

Thanks for the kind words MOS. Your prayers don't mean anything to me as you know, but my Dad may appreciate it, he believes in a GOD, just not the one you do, more the scientific concept of God, the type to call it a mysterious creative force or something like that.
And tonight I deal with things the old fashioned way, smoking three strong joints, some nice music and top notch premium dark chocolate.

Yeah, he has to wait for an MRI to get more information. Poor Bastard lives down in the sticks, none of his five kids (me included) visits him. He was just such a mean old bastard during his life no one bothered with him. Now my Mum is prepared for him to come home so she can care for him in their original marital home.

A few months back, my mom discovered that she had major hearing loss. The first thing they thought was a tumor on the brain, since she really had no history of hearing loss. Turns out it was no tumor. Just hearing loss associated with old age (shes 60, so I guess not that old). She wears hearing aids now and can hear fine.

My Mums a Mess, aneurysms, severe osteoarthritis, tinnitus, cancer, severe lack of mobility, and a bunch of other things that keep her in intractable pain and she stills wants to care for my now blind Father even after they have been seperated for 6 years.
-
that really shows something about your mums character! Shame for your dad but it could be temporary, my mates dad has times where he wakes up in the morning and one eye just won't open, it can last a couple of days or weeks.

Sorry to hear about that.
My mum passed away several years ago and it's tough to take. I never felt upset though, just numb.

I'm thinking about videoing his demise and posting it on youtube and exploiting his death for all my Youtube fans. Gotta get them clicks. Kidding, but didn't Vegan Gains do this with his grandfather.

Sorry to hear that. Thank god your mom is willing to take care of him.

My Mum deserves more of the THANKS than GOD. God gets way to much credit for the shit we do.

Your mother sounds like a beautiful person. All the best with your dads situation.

My Mum was a career nurse, doing all types but finished her career as a professional midwife. She loved her job with a passion and didn't want to stop but the job became to much physically for her. She still talks about childbirth all the time. She is a natural caer. Too bad she married my angry Father. Was never going to end well.
-
Sorry to hear.
I hope he will recover.

They say it is probably permanent. He is in his 70's. Dude is winding down.

There is nothing that will fuck with your head more that watching a parent who emotionally abused you as a child slowly die and suffer.
Initially you forget what they did and you will feel guilty over having been estranged…You resist the urge to vent at them over what happened in the past…
Then they finally pass…sometime after the funeral you start to forget again, but are now forgetting how sick and helpless they were…You start to remember what an asshole they were…
You find yourself getting angry with them post-mortem… The emotional whipsawing will send you to the edge.
This has been my experience…

I am prepared as anyone I guess. My best mate has been going through exactly what you described and his father passed 15 years ago.
And my Dad did more than emotionally abuse us, that dude hit HARD.

yeah...It's going to be rough for you...totally sincere on this.
-
That's life right? It's interesting in that it happened suddenly, but from what you said, he was a jerk his whole life, none of his kids want anything to do with him.. some might say it was karma if they believed in that stuff. I would recommend Mom not volunteering to help him.. but maybe that gives her something to do.

Yeah, as it stand nows, of her five kids I visit her the most, and she always wants me to stay and have something to eat and chat forever. She is so lonely but just doesn't want to admit it.
-
Same thing happened to my friends mom. The dr fucked up and should have given her a dose of predisone for the pressure on the optic nerve. It was something that was curable instead they waited too long and she went permanently blond. GET A SECOND OPINION!!
-
I smoked some cannabis and created this Youtube video to express how I am feeling.
I created this song/slideshow with some PC software many years ago, I used the software to create the different sounds and loops and recorded some acoustic guitar, added effects and this is what I got. The slideshow is of a small startup gym I tried to get up and running but it never got of the ground.
I moved out to the sticks when my Father separated from My Mum and tried to start a small gym, I hated the bush so I moved back to the suburbs. He stayed.
-
That sucks, but at least he's still alive. My Dad died of cancer at 71. 40 years of smoking and drinking eventually caught up to him.
-
Best wishes to you and your father, stay strong no matter what...

These are the kinds of testimonies that cause me heartache. Truly sorry your Dad was so brutal and cruel.
Hey, for what it's worth I thought I would share this with you.
This is a link to a message from Ken Freeman....strong, sweet man of God that has a similar, powerful testimony.

That's too bad, looks like a cool little gym. Sorry about your pop, buddy.

hey i was just joking with the last part... the part about your mom was sincere..sorry about your dad, even if he sounds like a mean man he is still your father
Or the part about staffies being lovely dogs are true but it was just a joke saying it to you....i tought you would understand that but seems like you did not sorry
-
thats awful I hope you find peace with him before he dies and goes to our Lord Jesus Christ in the sky. He was probably just expressing his love for you in a different way. The beatings probably made you tougher. They made me tougher anyway.

His treatment certainly made me tougher, unfortunately today's modern society doesn't like tough blokes, finds them too threatening. Modern Feminist society prefers well beaten down, emasculated BETA men unfortunately.

i know this is not the right thread to ask it but cant resist, do you think its okay for a parent to bear up their kid to learn them a lesson
-
Sorry to hear, Plato. Watching your parents get older is one of the most melancholy things in this world. I can't imagine losing either one of them. Unfortunately, life is only a matter of time.
-
Sorry to hear that.that is horrible,hopefully thy can figure it out and reverse it.My good friend went blind last year,he also woke up that way but just in one eye,tests for months found out it was ms.
-

NO. I have considered this many many times. Always best to keep your hands to yourself when it comes to children. Guide them with love. not beatings, and be there for them when they fall and need someone to catch them. That is all.

good answer ekul, to bad not wvery parent thinks like that

And life hit him so hard, that he went blind.
People often times don't think about what happens when they grow old and their kids become older.
-
After exactly ZERO hours sleep I am going to attempt to hit the weights soon. In tough times the Iron seems to be the only thing that makes sense to me. It doesn't bullshit me. Lifting becomes my refuge, my therapy and my escape. It's during these times I realise men in thongs means nothing, it's about the truth hidden in the IRON.
-
wishing him well!
-
Studies have shown that kids who were physically punished by their parents have a much much higher risk for mental problems when older. I believe it. Being hit by the only people who you trust and love can't be good for development. My dad used to hit me, nothing severe, but I'm not 100% mentally stable as an adult, prone to depression and anxiety.
Same. I got hit a lot, and hard. My adult life has been constant ups and downs. My parents broke me unfortunately, I have come to accept this, doesn't make it any easier.

He shall be at the very center of my faith this night, My father could be a bastard too but that does not makes us one. You are doing right not only by him, but by yourself.

God this sucks it would be an odd world with no vision
Does he eat kale?
whats his diet?
-
Dear Radical Plato,
My thoughts are with you and your family. I am wishing him a recovery and the best of health.

I hope that he at least got to see The Gift win his 5th consecutive Mr. Olympia on Saturday night.

C'mon man, isn't anything sacred to you.

What? Look at your post just above.
-
Just trying to see if we can give an idea to his dad , kale can only help some times u fags should just answer the question or take the advice
-
Broken Bodies are like broken down cars n some times a good kale treatment can fix his blindness .5% percent after 1 month and after 4 months maybe 2% .

It's not subconcious bro, I know I am asking for help. For those who don't have any kind words to offer, I sympathise with you.

Sorry to hear that. Any theories why it may have happened? Such as someone forwarding Kai's grapefruit video to him?
-
That sucks man. I also have a strained relationship with my father who has had some serious health problems, it's a strange feeling. Getbig can be a great help even if it's just to distract you for a few minutes.
Not sure what it could be but hopefully it's just a benign tumor pushing on the optic nerve. But I guess we will leave that for the doctors to figure out.
-
Thanks for everyones support. I never thought GETBIG would help me through a personal crisis. But let me tell you, when the chips are down, and you are doing it tough, a kind word becomes an unexpected powerful force.
-
that sucks.
Please try avoid all negative thoughts, find a way to keep strong, the more you talk to someone the better you will feel, do not bottle up emotions.

Unless he has some congenital eye diseases or problems in the past with his eyes, sounds like it would be brain-based. Sucks.

Diabetes maybe?

Well, if his diabetes wasn't controlled, that is possible. But RP didnt mention any diseases, so who knows.

My grandmother when almost completely blind becuase she wouldn't take care of her diabetes, she drank Dr pepper all day and all junk.

X2 so sorry to hear that. Keep him close regardless. I lost my dad when I was 24.

This reminds me of the saying "there are no atheists in foxholes". While I have never been i a foxhole or even in the military, I have had some situations where death was possible and at no point did I question my atheism.

I agree.
The "there are no atheists in foxholes" statement simply isn't true. Some folks have hardened themselves so completely against God that nothing will change them....not even death.

Hey man, I am sorry that this has happened.
My dad hit me when I was young and the resentment stayed for many years. It's only now in his advanced age that we are truly on good terms.
No one is perfect. You may never be able to fully let go of the anger and resentment. But you can do what is right for now, because you are a better man. And I'm sure deep down, your dad recalls how unfair he was.
No one is completely bad.

Of the few things I fear, going blind/loss of hearing/loss of limbs have to be the greatest.
I am sorry to hear about your Dad.
For what it's worth I will keep him in my prayers.
I'm very curious on how that'll play out: Bless thy lord, keep watch over Radical Plato from GetBig's dad. blablabla.
Time to quit the little fantasy friend.
