  1. It all just seems very out of character and I continue to be baffled. Thank you for allowing a place for me to speak about this very uncomfortable issue.
  2. Danni, he has not been diagnosed with any type of dementia disorder. That was my first thought as well. This behavior began a little over two years ago and his mental/cognitive state has remained the same. I am baffled. And it does not appear anyone else has ever walked this past... Oh well.
  3. I agree. Zero motivation! I have researched this subject and there is just nothing available. Really. I do not know what to do.
  4. Actually it is bizarre behavior on his part but I wonder if it is equally as bizarre of me not to confide in my sisters. It is amazing how much shame is wrapped up in this deviant behavior even when nothing actually happened to me. I am not sure my sisters would believe me because it is so "out of character". He and my mother are together. 60 years in October!
  5. I need some advice please. I went through a difficult divorce a few years ago after 23 years of marriage and my father, 78 at the time, began making sexual advances towards me. I was 47 years old and was not abused as a child! When it began, I just assumed his hand slipped, etc.. but it became increasing obvious he was trying to touch or kiss me inappropriately. I finally told him in no uncertain terms to stop. He did but his general behavior toward me became odd, though. For example, he acted jealous when I began dating. (I live in a small town about 3 miles from where I grew up) I really thought he might be getting some type of dementia but he is FINE! He functions completely normally in all respects (other than the obvious!) Fast forward to May 2012. It began again... but I went through some additional personal difficulties that I am dealing with and he knows about and he is actually acting mad at me. The advances stopped but any other communication has ended as well. He is acting like a scorned boyfriend! I am very confused. I have not shared this with anyone..not my mother, sisters or sons. I really do not know what to do. I have lost my normal relationship with my father and I do not know him any more. I have never heard of a father making sexual advances towards a grown daughter! We are from a "normal middle class, respected" family! Does this happen? What should I do? I certainly do not want to burden my mother (who is also 79 now) with this information. She cannot do anything about it. I am very upset and need some guidance or maybe just that someone else has dealt with this. Thank you for any insight...
