Spouse with cognitive problems and finances

Yesterday I sold our car. Today we go to the DMV for ID cards and a handicap plaque. I haven't mentioned to Bill yet that the car is gone (one day he did agree to sell - he just didn't want our daughter to have it). Lately he has been pretty much ignoring the car issue. One thing I wouldn't mind him forgetting!

I don't envy you, @billchitwood Car issues were a huge stumbling block with my wife. I hope all goes as well as can be hoped for on this transition.

Wishing you all the best along with Strength, Courage, & Peace

What a great accomplishment for you!
Will would be able to stop driving, and he has. But when I drove, he would scream and yell at me and try to control every move I made. So I again watched him driving, and aside from playing with all the bells and whistles, he has a tendency to sway over to the left. Swaying to the left means cars passing him on that side honk at him to stay out of the way. So he is still driving and is fine so far. I go with him when he drives down a major highway or expressway to remind him to stay inside his lane. After we move back to Chicago in July to join our families, we will only drive on local roads. If he is not driving well on the way, I will take over for him.
We will need prayers for our trip.
