hi, my 87 year old father has just gone through two hip fractures and a case of pneumona. mentally, he is angry, blaming the rehab centers for things like keeping him locked up, i don't exactlly know how to explain his state of mind. as one of his caregivers, and also his stepdaugher, last nite he accused me of terrible things, was going to call an attorney and have me prosecuted and taken out of his will. his son is his poa and pa keeps fighting with him about wanting to take careof his own money. he does not understand that he is unable to do the things he did for so many years. i don't know how i can continue to be a help when i am degraded and he picks on things to start an arguement. is this dementia? he is so stubborn and refuses to see that he is no longer 50 yrs. old. he broke the 2nd hip by not using his walker and he is doing the same thing again. he defies anyone who tries to impose any limits on him, physically or mentally. and, fights with the bath aide because he wants to get into the bath tub instead of a shower. he is pushing the ones who love him away. i fought to bring him into his home, rather than a nursing home. now i am not sure if that was the best thing for him and us.

thank you, YYYY@YYYY
