Granny's gone and done it again

[microchick]

Cap, take some advice from somebody who dealt with two demented parents and got physically abused until they finally begged for help.

If he won't go to the doctor and level with him (from my experience they never do, it's always the other person's fault for their behavior)then you need to contact his doctor any way you can and level with him either in person or by phone.

Many forms of dementia present in their early phases with personality changes. I would hate to hear from you that things have gotten worse and you are bearing bruises or worse from explosive dementia behavior.

My dad was happily confused. Mom was violent. I still have nightmares about it 21 years later. I don't want anyone to live through what I did with her.

Please take care. Remember, somebody in Missouri cares!

Not to be trying to diagnose, but ... my first husband, my mother and a sister all had changes in personality similar to what you are describing, Cap. They all ultimately proved to be suffering from blood disorders. Leukemia in one, myelodysplastic syndrome in the other two. These disrupted the supply of healthy red blood cells, and thus, oxygen, reaching their brains. Just saying there could be a physical component. But his behavior is causing depression, sadness and despair in you. And counseling will help with that. Ask me how I know.

We have done that before. It could be due to my running out of Meds. I did discuss it with the doctor.
