four weeks ago my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and was told he can no longer drive, so my father gave me the car keys, I use his car to take him shopping and anywhere he would like to go, the problem is he forgets he cannot drive and sometimes phones me at work very aggressive saying I have stolen his keys and if I don't return them he will go to the police.
After a while he calms down, and when I see my father I have to explain things why he no longer can drive and he is fine, but then the following week he feels down and isolated misses his independence and then I go through the same process again of stealing his car ( I now have his car at my house so it is not a reminder, it has helped that he no longer phones me for the car keys) but when I visit he asks for his car back so he can drive to the shops.
Is there going to be a time when he accept he can no longer drive or would it be best to
sell his car?
