My husband is 75 years old
For quite some time he has been very forgetful, not getting washed and dressed till late in day (which is not usual)
Is up and down ALL night.
And is very aggressive towards me becoming violent on occasions.
Two years ago person came to house and did "test" Who is Prime minister etc and apparently scored 28 out of 30!!! And went away.
I felt this was not helpful
My daughter asked him to go to Doctor and she will go with him but he refuses as he says nothing wrong with him .
Myself and daughters have tried speaking to Doctor who says cannot do anything unless he asks and seems reluctant to discuss Dementure.
Things are so bad we are actually living separately in our home
Forever accusing me of taking his things
Talking about him
He buys endless amounts if food
If I go out and gone for more than an hour he is phoning my daughter saying if I don't get home he is phoning police.
Has locked me out of house on several occasions.
Following outbursts behaves as if nothing happened.
Police are aware of situation because of incidents.
Most recently calling the police out last week.
Following which because he had threatened me they said one if us must leave before they left. Husband refused to go, so I took my little dog and spent the day roaming about.
Police phoned later that evening to say he had lodged a complaint against officer, because she had said if they were called out again on day, they would remove "someone from property"
Next day as if nothing happened.
I am absolutely at my wits end.
Would appreciate any help or advice
