My father in law, who has the beginnings of dementia, apparently asked my mother in law, "Am I going crazy?", as his memory issues became apparent to him.
He's now been relieved of all financial duties. Our worry is that...he doesn't really have anything else to do. All he did was go through financial emails, and papers, and worry and think about them but...at least it gave him something to do.
One positive is that he could not be scammed anymore. He just couldn't follow their steps. (He has gotten scammed before).
I never considered what kind of loss of purpose this could be for people.
It's one thing to be embarrassed about no longer being competent, but feeling useless is a much deeper problem.
