> It sounds like you are afflicted with the same affliction as your dad, just in the opposite direction (especially if you actually cried over typing this post). I don't think it's exactly completely delusional or obsessive to be sad that your dad is now financially unstable and obsessive about a single thing to the point it's alienated the people around them. You can be well adjusted and sad that someone close to you is on a bad path. You can even resent people you blame for enabling that path.
