    Your family is in my thoughts. It must be so scary to see the person you've loved for so long suddenly not be the same anymore.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I hope your mom has friends there to lean on. Those voices must have been horrifying for your dad, and shattering for your mom and you, dealing with the results.

    If your dad has reached age 72 without meds, hopefully something can help him, medication or otherwise.

    HUGS!

    I have had people very, very near to me seemingly suddenly become mentally ill. Please know that people DO get better with time, medication, and support from family and friends. I will pray for you, your father and your mother during this very trying time. Lots of love and hugs coming your way.

    ETA: If you ever want to chat with someone who has been there I am always available.

    Prayers for you, Gayle, and your parents. It has to be frightening for you and especially your Mom.

    Had he shown any signs of mental stress before this?

    72 is most definitely not old - stated by one who is rapidly approaching that age.

    Hoping things will be straightened out quickly and you'll have many years left with your Dad

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that whatever is causing this can be easily treated. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to you and both of your parents. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

    It is a sad story, but before looking at the title i thought it might be humorous.
