Hi @daisychain While I don’t have any magic suggestion I did want to share something my wife’s neuro doc told us: When the brain is ‘broken’, logic is often ineffective with the patient.

I can’t tell you how many times my wife’s thought processes and actions defied logic as well as her past personality as her disease progressed. It really forced me to be more forward thinking about possibilities than I had been.

I wish you all the best.

Strength, Courage, & Peace

@IndianaScott - thanks for your response. After talking with my brother and husband, we've decided that trying to tell him why this isn't appropriate and possibly unsafe will not help. We are going to try to redirect him with some companions that may help him feel less isolated.
