[QUOTE="witzend, post: 631206, member: 99"] How scary, Annie. He's obviously going untreated and vulnerable, and of course there is nothing specific that you can do to help him. I don't really know what I would do in your shoes. M has always been out of touch with emotions and the reality of his abilities, but not like that. I can only offer you gentle hugs. I do agree with Childofmine, that you can not argue these things with him. He has a mental illness and he won't understand and may be looking for someone to argue with. I think of it as I do the hopelessness of my father always trying to make his mother who had early onset Alzheimer's understand reality or do the things that she used to do. She just couldn't, and his trying to convince her otherwise was really a useless hurt (his specialty) on his part. [/QUOTE]
