[quote=Anonymous]You aren’t going to get through to him. He won’t understand. It will probably make him angry, because it’s confusing. Try to put alerts on his accounts (this is how we learned my mil was being scammed by mailing cash on shoe boxes). He will continue to get worse and then will lose the ability to fight you / intervene. But refusal to understand what he’s capable of IS dementia. Get POA, look at places with good memory care, even if he doesn’t need it yet. Recognize that he is probably worse off than you think—it’s harder, I think, for children to assess accurately their parents level of function than an outsider. My experience is that things can get bad very quickly (for example, a fall) so if you plan to move him, do it asap.[/quote]
