My Mother passed away 6 months ago. Mom paid all the bills, cooked, ran the household and drove prior to her death. My 88 year old Father was frail and in the early stages of dementia so asked him if he would come live me and He readily agreed. After a mourning period of about 3 months I started taking Dad to the local Retirement Center to meet some people. Dad met a 71 year old woman and in a short period of time has started a relationship with her. At first I was happy about this but several worrisome issues have cropped up:
He has decided he can drive again and has started driving his old 1992 Cadillac. He drives very slowly and has left the car running and the doors wide open when he comes home. I worry about him hurting himself or others.
He has started spending most of his retirement checks. He has no bills but he draws out about $2,200.00 cash each month and it is disappearing. He told me he was paying for his girlfriends bills, buying her groceries etc. To make matters worse she has a 50 year old brother who has been in Prison twice for armed robbery. Her brother is currently living with her and he uses her car to get around and also borrows money from her. Dad is consumed with anger toward this Brother and tells me that he is going to have to handle the situation somehow. Dad has a permit to carry guns and has two of them in his car. It is a volitile situations.
Another major concern is that Dad seems obsessed with sex. He has started taking Cialis and I am worried about his heart. He also talks about sex in an inappropriate way around me and my husband. Apparently he and his lady friend have been pretty active in this department.
My Dad is former Military and has always been a little rough around the edges, but he was a good Father and Husband to my Mom. I am seeing a totally different side to him and I'm wondering if it could be attributed to his dementia. I'm really worried about him and don't know what to do.
Please contact your local PD or get a Private Investigator. I am sure they are
running a gammet&acting like they like him. Sex does alot of things to guys at that
age..and Before he gets himself in trouble with the Ex-con and ends up in Prison himself..which would be tragic..it is already tragic enuff!! contact the authorities and tell themof these 2. all u can do to Help the Situation as he is probably influenced so much by being fooled he wont admit it..and this way he is Protected.
Ex-cons and their families Will do ANYTHING FOR EACH OTHER!!
Uncommon for those women&their sibling to Extort him. he may be gettin sex..but
his Money is going to that and more!!! I would contact your local Police Department and have them aware of the individuals and what Extortions u Believe are happening.&especially with a ex-Con&she probably isn't much better. We just had that happen here.. a couple were finally caught for extorting old people with money..and living off of it..and shopping on it..and just having a good ol time laughing it up..fools are everywhere..sometimes you need a little Investigator/Police /Deputies to stake it out for you. as it is a Crime.Okay.
