I'm so sorry Lynne. My grandma's second husband has alzheimer's and is in a home now. I was living with them just before my grandma put him in there, and I had to lock my bedroom door at night because he would walk up to it and just start rattling the door, trying to get in. It was pretty scary. My grandma had a horrible time trying to talk him into going back to bed, and his happened almost every night. It has been really hard on her... he doesn't know who she is at all now. I don't have advice for you, but I just want to let you know you're not alone. It's a terrible disease
