Too much responsibility
Even though Kevin was taking care of grandpa Tuck day and night, he did not seem to improve. Nancy convinced her brothers and her mother that their grandfather might need professional care. So they asked his nurse to stop by more regularly. He stopped by every morning and evening to help Kevin with the day to day activities like getting the old man dressed and making sure he stayed warm.
One day, Kevin came home smelling of alcohol. He had been out all day and Nancy had assumed he was with their grandfather but now she wasn’t sure. He couldn’t have been drinking while also taking care of grandpa, could he? It was clear that Kevin was drunk. Nancy started yelling at him but Kevin acted like he didn’t hear her. He walked straight past her and fell face down into the couch.
A feeling of dread washed over the young woman as she watched her brother sleep. She knew something was horribly wrong but she never would’ve guessed what was about to happen.
