Hang on a minute. You are 19 years old, and helpline are telling you to reset his sleep pattern?
Sometimes I wonder what's going on in this world.
No.1 Looking after babies, children and even teenagers isn't nearly as difficult as looking after someone who is supposed to be taking care of you.
No. 2 You really are not responsible, and you shouldn't be. You should either be in some kind of education, or working, maybe even as an apprentice somewhere. Going out, meeting up with girls or mates and having fun at times you are not working
Only idea I can think of if you are only 19 years old, is to ring Social Services, tell them that you father is having severe problems, is unable to look after himself, and as a 19 year old, it is not your job to look after him even if you do live in the same house as him.
Use lots of words like danger to himself, scared he might put the cooker on and burn the house down while you are upstairs trying to sleep. Ask questions like what are they going to do about it.
