First of all, sorry for your situation. I have watched multiple family members go through this. It is toughest if there are kids that don’t understand what the old guy is going through.

I am not a lawyer, but I suspect that the doctor made this comment in a very blunt and straight forward way that your wife is not used to. That is all. In no way was he threatening legal action.

If the old timer is losing it, someone needs to step up and take all of the precautions mentioned: remove car keys, firearms and/o ammo, prepare food for him because he cannot use the stove, etc. be prepared for a fight. He will lash out at whomever is “taking” things from him. Just remember, mentally, he is a child. I have had these conversations, and they suck.

This truly becomes a family emergency because it will take multiple people to take on all of these responsibilities. Unless you have the money for full time care.
