[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 764545, member: 22840"] Newstart, I've always liked to hear how your daughter has been able to pull things together over the years, even with all of her slip ups in the middle, she's done good. But your husband worries me from what you have written. Do you think he's gotten to a place where he wants to pretend his family is fine just because they are his family? Do you think you are now an issue, getting in the way, and annoying him, all of a sudden just like that? I am very familiar with a bipolar in-law family so I know the answer, not that I don't feel for them but I can only deal with certain members from afar. It could be because he's getting older he feels like he needs his family, as they are. Or it could be he has some medical issue, or both. So to be very blunt I think he needs an in-depth medical work up including blood work like testosterone levels and vitamin levels and then on to a neurological (memory) workup from there. And if nothing is found then if you can talk to him about going into therapy it would be a good idea. Who knows what's up, but you know something is different better than anyone else. And I think you need to come down on him in a big way to get some help, yep threaten him if you need to. And really considering all of my forced HIPPA knowledge I know you could call his Dr up and tell him how your husband has been acting like an A.H., he can't tell you anything but you can tell him.
