Elder Rage

Visits to a Physician


I reported his illogical behavior to the doctor, but whenever she saw him, he'd act so normal, so darling, so in control, I couldn't get help with medications. He was able to act completely sane when he needed to. I didn't find out until much later that he had told the doctor that I was just after his money and that she shouldn't pay any attention to me. She had known him for twenty years and didn't know me very well, as I lived four hundred miles away.
