I don't have real parents but the people who took me in 30 years ago are now approaching 80 and it is really enlightening and awful to see the decline. It's hard to know the line between mental illness, aging, and dementia. They've been struggling with computers and technology which is crazy since the guy has 40 wireless patents to his credit. I've been checking their mail and there are return to sender letters from all the big tech companies containing his letters warning them of the Chinese conspiracy to take over our information networks. They've had the India calls and have been very close to giving up their info even though they are paranoid and suspicious of everything. I worry they'll fall for some estate planning scam. It's a scary thing to know this is coming your way. Drink your brain tonic now.
