Very sad for the poor man if his wife is behaving like that. Could be a case of dementia and he can't bring himself to put her in care, or maybe can't afford it. ?I remember when my mother in law began having difficulties my sister in law sent for me to travel about 500 miles to sit in with an assessment team because she didn't want to do it -- wanted to pass the responsibility on to someone else. I didn't think really it was my place as a daughter in law but SIL just not coping at the time. It is very sad though when you see someone deteriorating to not being the person you have always known.?
