Help With Bogus Phone Calls
Help With Bogus Phone Calls
My husband is addicted to his cell phone. He answers calls from foreigners claiming to be from the FBI, CIA, Drug enforcement, etc. He gets us into a lot of trouble. He even changed his Medicare and now we can't get in to see a doc. What can I do? He gives them ss#'s, bank #'s, ikes! He is still in middle stages and says he's going to leave when I get angry or try to explain. He doesn't remember all the trouble he's caused before. I'm beside myself and worry about leaving him alone. Thank you… read more

Does Anyone Have A Problem Finding Things Your AD Person Will Eat?
My husband won't eat many things. He will eat a hamburger from his favorite hamburger place. He will go to Golden Corral and eat 5 things so I try to take him there 3 times a week.

My Mother Gets Extremely Mad At Us When She Thinks That We Are Keeping "her" Dog From Her. She Has Not Had A Pet In Years.
My Mother Gets Extremely Mad At Us When She Thinks That We Are Keeping "her" Dog From Her. She Has Not Had A Pet In Years.
She tries to take my sister's dog and yells, cries, slams things, etc. sometimes when she can't take the dog home. It is happening more and more. We have tried the distraction technique but it doesn't always work (especially if she is angry). We have given her a stuffed dog but she rarely carries it. My dad has finally started the process to get in-home help, but he is exhausted. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
