How awful is it when you secretly think it would be a relief if they died!

You can’t say this out loud, can you? My dad is an alcoholic and has been for 40 years. He ruined much of my childhood. He’s also morbidly obese as he's addicted to food. He has been in and out of hospital now for a while. It’s exhausting. Every day is centred around what is happening with him and what he needs. I love him but would be secretly relieved if he died. How bad is that?!

I understand and feel the same. I love my mum but she is also an alcoholic and is currently on her ninth hospital admission this year for alcohol related problems. It’s such a nightmare. Sending hugs and solidarity.
