I understand very well, mummy. I lived with it for 5 0 y ears but didn't know that it was toxic until the last few years when I studied on my new computer late at night. I lived through it because we had a very big house and he avoided me to punish me for not worshiping him and doing what he wanted when he wanted it done. I was meant to be his devoted slave because he was so special.
Yes, you can recognize dementia many times because the previous decent logic has been destroyed and he believes his lies.
Everything the children say and do, one of us taught them. So the daughter learned from her father, or didn't learn what she normally should have learned about life early on. Most say there is no cure because they believe they don't need to change. I won't tell you what to do about it. Any decisions you make will be better than what you are enduring. There is no pill for this. Dorisena
