Re: In limbo here, need advise
Sorry about your job. I understand what it's like to take care of a disabled family member. I don't know if you've tried already, but did you look into possibly getting a home care nurse or at least a home health aide for your father? Is he over 65? If so, then I think medicare can pay for some of it at least. If he's younger and disabled, he may qualify for medicaid, or some kind of financial assistance in your region.
I don't think you can keep a steady job like that, since even if it's a valid excuse, many places wouldn't want to keep someone on staff who frequently has to be out, especially in health care.
You have to find a way to have someone else care for him, if possible. Speak to a social worker.
