I am desperate and need to communicate with a kind and sane adult but can't call as my phone has sporadic reception and my dad will hear. He has dementia and I am caring for him.

I have emailed the jo@samaritans email address I found on the samaritans and nhs websites but no answer since about 5. Does anyone know if this works? If not an alternative email address for emergency support?

Thank you for your answers. He has a basic pension but he spends double his income. He has been borrowing on a credit card.

I have been in touch with samaritans now, thank you.

I should just leave and have someone else take responsibility.

This is not really what anyone is saying here. It is more that you could if you felt as if it would be the right thing to do.

It sounds as if he is not managing his money if he is running up credit card bills. Discuss this with SS.

Just wanted to offer my support as I know how bad loneliness and needing to reach out is. Take care of yourself xx
