[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 329341, member: 1233"] Sending hugs and prayers. PLEASE keep an eye on them BOTH. When our adopted Gpa developed this he became very angry and we discovered he was hurting his wife when he got mad. She hid it for a long time - we found it by walking in on it. It was very traumatic esp as he was such a gentleman when he had all his faculties, and he was very outspoken against spousal abuse, so seeing him do this was awful. We had to threaten legal action to get HER to take precautions. We said we would tell their siblings, who would insist he either be in a nursing home or jail for abusing her. She wanted to keep him at home but it was just not safe. Like having a 2yo who was bigger than you are was how it could best be described. Make SURE you are not seeing signs of abuse. It is a huge burden on the caregiver, and the rest of the family must intervene. I am sorry your family has to handle this. [/QUOTE]
