Dear Abby advises a man who suspects his brother-in-law has Alzheimer’s, a woman with a stingy husband, and a person who found a bug in their food.
My wife passed away six months ago after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s. I was her primary caregiver. Since she passed, her brother has been showing the same symptoms of paranoia she started with. Contact with him brings back sad memories, but I don’t know how to talk to him about it without starting a big family upset. Your thoughts? —Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your wife. Her relatives should be aware that this disease can run in families so they can watch for it.
As you probably know, if your former BIL does have Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association is there to provide emotional support and practical advice. The association’s website is at alz.org, and its 24/7 Helpline is 1-800-272-3900.I’ve been married for more than 30 years. My husband and I split all bills and everything else. This has worked because, in life, I have always taken care of myself. My issue is his cheap attitude about every little dime.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
