answer:Ooh, that is a tough one. I think calling your dad and simply letting him know that you’re there for him is a start. You could also send flowers to your dad’s friend’s place in hopes that it’ll get to him and your dad (so as to show that you’re there “with” them all). Secondly, I hear what you mean about unhealthy lifestyles. My dad is hypertensive and won’t take his medication, I’m scared to death that he’ll have a heart attack. So, what did I do? I told him that I didn’t want him to die. I didn’t want him to die like his co-worker died. I didn’t want him to leave me too early. I realized that it wasn’t about not taking care of himself, it was about him not wanting to put drugs in his body…period. So he changed his habits. Starting going to the gym, eating heathily..stuff like that. I’d say it was a pretty good compromise, and I’m glad that my dad decided to change his habits. I think if someone is simply maintaining bad lifestyles, you should stress that you’re scared and you don’t want him to go too early like his friend. I hope that everything works out for you.
