Find Care & Housing
I agree with the previous writer - GET OUT of the house and get a safe place to retreat to. You can still have contact and check up on him if you want to. You have done your best to fulfill your Mom's wishes. Don't know if having a senior care manager call on him would help, but they might have some suggestions for you and your sister on how to deal with the situation. Ultimately you may just have to opt for making things as good as you can for your daughter and yourself. Give the problem to God - he really will see you through - sometimes in ways you never would have imagined, but when you look back you WILL see those footprints in the sand!

Get out and do it as soon as you can. You have fulfilled your promise to take care of him, but that does not include the emotional abuse. Get out for your daughter's sake if not for your own. Your sister will not take him in out of good sense, because she already knows what he is like. He should not be driving. He is angry because he knows his mother had dementia and he cannot avoid having it too. If the doctors ran a complete neuro-psych exam and found nothing wrong, your father is still well enough to hide his symptoms. He will continue to live in denial as long as you enable him to do so. Save yourself and save your daughter and GET OUT OF DODGE!
