When I read your post, the first thing that came to my mind is Altzheimers. I think he really needs to be checked out for that. It sounds exactly like my Grandmother did when she started having those symptoms. Everything was out to get her. She thought there were people trying to break into her home & take everything. At times, she thought my Grandfather was the robber & started hitting him with her cane.

Taking them for evaluation isn't easy because they don't want to go or even think that is what the problem is & then they think you are trying to hurt them too. It is important to have them evaluated at this point. They now have meds that can actually slow down the symptoms, but it is important to find out as early as possible.

We had to trick my Grandmother into going to the Dr for something else & convincing her that she needed to see her Dr for another illness. It was hard on my family because neither my Mother nor my Grandfather wanted to be responsible for doing this. I was the one that had to force it to happen & it was a very good thing. Unfortunately at that point, she had to be put into a nursing home because she was way to bad off & my Grandfather couldn't handle her anymore without being in danger himself.

Please don't pass off the thought of it being Altzhiemers. If is isn't then that will be wonderful. If it is, then the appropriate care needs to be taken.
