[quote=Anonymous]OP, based on what you have said about your father, it seems to me that he is suffering from his world becoming too damned small. Your mother appears to have been the "cruise director" in the relationship, and without her, he has allowed his relationships to languish. He isn't adequately occupied, so his brain turns to his anxieties. Your description doesn't send off dementia alarm bells to me, just idleness and loneliness. OP, your Dad needs a job. Not a paying job, per se, but something to give him purpose and occupy his time. Does he help support the household? Cooking, gardening, grocery shopping, doing small repairs? Can HE take the dog for an evening walk? He really needs to be part of the household, not just a permanent guest if this is going to work.[/quote]
