Wow, just wow. What a case.
Like so many others, I have experience with a parents with dementia and a FIL with Alzheimer's. Those of you who have weighed in on what it is, what it does, how it manifests itself wth each individual parting is right on. Bring back so many memories of heartbreaking incidence.
At 70. PS could certain joy have it and it would tie into his stories and all the confusion.
He also can be a cunning murderer who thinks he can get away with it. Who knows? I'm sure LE is on top of this, checking out what they can verify. Dementia, terminal cancer, etc. it takes time.
In the meantime, it has come up in discussion about the kids not watching over hr,, family not involved in their care, especially if she was terminal and he has dementia.
My husband passed away in April. I asked my two children for a year to see how I do on my own. They both live in another state. After losing my husband, I did not want to give up my home, my friends, my life.
6 months after he passed, I discovered a lump in my breast. I have cancer. I am alone. My kids started circling the wagons, wanting me to leave my home, my doctors, my life.
I am in the beginning of my chemotherapy. Had my first round last week. They are in constant contact with me, Ready and alert to pull me out of here and move me to a God forsaken state I will hate.
I want my independence as long as I can have it without it being an inconvenience to anyone else. I have friends checking in on me, taking me to appointments, picking up meds.
I don't want my kids to give up their lives if they don't have to. They would in a minute, but I don't want the added guilt I would feel that I am causing them anything but the kind of lives I wanted for them. They know when I'm done, I'm done, I will tell them.
So maybe his is how it was for the Sniders. FWIW
