My husbands father got diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's a little over two years ago. He hasn't dealt with it well. Between drinking and other things, I think he is self medicating. When I try to bring it up, he tells me I'm crazy and if I press the issue he focuses on the fact that I'm essentially calling him a liar. He feels ganged up on..etc and blames everything on his dad's illness and how it is affecting him- can't sleep, exhausted.
I want to believe him and believe he is just "tired" when he looks like he's on something. I am so worried about him..I just wonder if anyone else out there has gone through it like this and if they have any suggestions.
