My father is a difficult person. He is nearly 80 years old, so not even that old yet. I think he could naturally become 90 or a bit more in relatively good health if he wanted to. But his life is miserable because he wants it to be like that and he is actively working against his physical and mental health and well-being, and the mental health and well-being of everyone who cares about him. It is impossible for me to not care about him. But it is also impossible to achieve anything that would help him, because he usually sabotages and nullifies every effort to do so.
I don't even know what advice I am looking for, because as far as I can see everything seems impossible. Every attempt to help backfires.
I won't describe any situations, attempts, possibilities in detail now, because I'm fucking tired, and I just need to go to sleep, and tomorrow I'll try the impossible again. And maybe then I can come back to this thread and tell more details. But I just want to send this now to get it off my chest for the moment, because I know I need help. And maybe tomorrow I come back to this thread and explain more and ask for more concrete advice, or maybe not, because usually I don't even see it as a possibility that someone could give reasonably helpful advice here.
But feel free to ask in the meantime if you are interested. I would appreciate helpful question that could help me clarify my problems with my father.
Good night!

I don't think you can really. What people do can be out of our control. Someone may tell you to push through the odds and do what feels right make him proud, but reality sucks and it can't be changed. The best I can say is enjoy your time with him while it lasts.
