The decline of my grandpa who had Parkinsons with Lewey Body Dementia.
That man was the absolute paragon of dependability and care. So much so that his 4 brothers, their dozens of kids, his entire wife's family, people that lived in his neighborhood,...just EVERYONE that knew him, knew that he'd be there if they needed him.
Near the end, before the family convinced my grandma that he needed to be in dementia care, his personality was completely changed.
My grandma was literally afraid of him. The man she'd spent 65+ years with, who was the the "safest" person anyone could imagine, was suddenly unpredictable, volatile, and violent.
Luckily by then he wasn't physically able to do any real harm. Although I can attest to him having weirdly strong resistance when I was trying to help him with something.
