Biden aide hits back at book alleging cover-up of his 'deterioration'

23. I equate this book with the insidious situation my friend is going through.

He's 77+ years old and for whatever reason, his wife is on a campaign to convince everyone that he has dementia. It's a relationship involving malignant narcissism. He is terrified of her. She's gone as far as calling the police in order to "document" his so-called dementia.

He doesn't have dementia. His head may be spinning from her constant berating and emotional cruelty, but it isn't dementia. Their house is a confused mess and no wonder he can't find his keys. He's a virtuoso trumpeter and can perform pieces without music without an error. He is articulate. He can drive without getting lost.

His wife now has their daughter echoing her contention that he has dementia.

Because he's so cowed by his wife, he doesn't actively dispute her accusations of his mental status.

Honestly, I don't get it. If his wife doesn't want to live with him, get a divorce. Don't try to have him committed.
