Seems his older son was not believing his father’s Dementia by saying “if he even has Dementia.”
My response was to send him a recent Memory report taken in March after getting a Memory test diagnoses taken at a Memory Clinic. Also reminded his son that his father had 2 strokes shortly after having his heart valve replaced. Haven’t heard back from his son, so I hope he is convinced.
My husband’s sister also asked what was wrong with her brother so I sent her the long list. Never heard back from her either.
Keeping everyone informed about their loved one’s condition seems to be the best way to assuage their curiosity or non-beliefs.
Honestly, my blood boils when people question me about my husband’s health.

I like it, you sent lists. I may do that. We also have the his children/my children thing, second marriages work that way. My DH younger son recently tried to arrange for his dad to fly out for a visit and was going to get him a rental car. As this son refuses to speak to me, I had to make my DH nix those plans.

Same here. I must say I had forgotten that my husband had his aorta valve replaced in 2009 the old way and his carotid artery a few years later. Although he has always been forgetful in the past and he never wears his hearing aids 😃. So there are a couple of things I have to consider.
