Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 i dont beleive my dad repressed inappropriate sexual comments/actions. i truly believe and was verifired by mri that the frontal area (*where the sex inhibitions are( was shrinking therefore he was unable to control nor understand that some of the things he was saying/doing was wrong. or socally incorrect. this disease is so ugly, it is a shame that it destroys not only the person with the disease but the family and ctg too. hugs sharon m pensacola, florida daughter/caregiver of Leonard, symptomatic from the early 1990's. we moved in with him 1/19/03. diagnosed 5/04 broke hip ball 7/5/05, asp pneumonia and lung blood clot 7/14/05, asp pneumonia and uti 8/05, passed away 9/25/05 -- Re: april, your daugher I guess one of the questions for me, and I think this is something that April is hinting at, is whether it IS the disease or whether that kind of behaviour is in someone's nature all along. I'm wondering if my dad has simply covered / repressed / suppressed this kind of attitude to women for many years or whether it's a total character change brought about by his dementia. > > > > Hi there - > > About this horrid sexual behaviour stuff... > > Started with my dad about 2-3 years before he died (died 21st Oct. > 2002) > > Was very sporadic at first and mostly silly, inappropriate lurid > comments > > TOTALLY OUT OF CHARACTER! > > Began to be a nuisance and eventually offensive in last 12 months. > My > > father's uncle (also dying to LBD for last 2 years) has almost > nightly > > vicious, frightening, vivid hallucinations in which he fights off > men trying > > to get in bed with him to have sex with him.
