The picture I get on this web is that dementia patients are concerned about their mental health and look for help from the doctors, or family members take them in and they cooperate with the treatment like good little boys. What about the narcissistic bully who lies and cons his way through life and is supposedly a successful businessman and is mentally abusive to his wife and family? I was advised I would get no help from the courts and was told not to try. He could sell an igloo to an Eskimo and charmed waitresses off their feet. Eventually his dementia progressed so that it was easier to stay ahead of his antics and I was careful not to ride in a vehicle with him because his driving was erratic. The police called the office looking for him because he turned left at the light from the right hand lane, being the farm boy that he was as a child. We said we didn't know where he was and they let it go. He was an alcoholic but was never stopped and charged. The cancer stopped him when he could no longer walk. No medical professional would ever help the poor man. Dorisena
