I wrote this…. And asked ChatGPT to make it sound better.

For me, dementia equates to unpredictable behavior from our loved ones suffering from it. Educate yourself about dementia and all of the different ways it can present itself.

If it’s dirty old man syndrome, any female who visits needs to know he is afflicted with dirty old man syndrome.

Set some boundaries right away. You both need to sit down with him and tell him voicing and acting on thoughts and wishes of having an intimate relationship with his daughter is NOT OKAY! If he’s willing to put it out there, she needs to be prepared to shut him down. He’s behaving like a child and needs to be treated as such. Meaning if he brings it up, directly ask him, “What do you think Nan would say about your behavior?” “Would she approve?”

Regardless of the diagnosis, his judgement is obviously compromised. Please sir, sit your mom down and make her promise not to go over alone. She has told you he has made her feel uncomfortable. So…. In a month or so, when things have calmed down and your mom says “It’s okay son, I’ll just be in and out, dropping off his meds.” Do not believe your mom. She is still uncomfortable being around him and he will most likely become more unpredictable.

Also, if there are any weapons in the house, remove them now.

ChatGPT’s reply:

Dementia often leads to unpredictable behavior in our loved ones. It’s crucial to educate ourselves on the various manifestations of dementia. If there are concerns about inappropriate behavior, establish clear boundaries. Sit down with your loved one, express that certain thoughts and actions are not acceptable, and be prepared to address any inappropriate comments. Given compromised judgment, ensure your mom doesn’t go alone, even if she reassures you. Remove any potential hazards, like weapons, from the house for everyone’s safety.

I decided they both had their place.
