She became VERY sexually aggressive to dear old PsychoPappy and when I say VERY aggressive sexually, as in being VERY frank about what she wanted, which evolved in her LITERALLY undressing and physically trying to "Get thang's Started". it was them that she was placed in a Memory care assisted living for what remained of her life. PCIntern ia ABSOLUTELY correct. Now, she didn't have FTD but I have been unlucky enough to hear about the relatives of loved ones and friends tearily recounting the latest "AGGRESSIVELY" inappropriate reactions from them, (what I am recounting was the experience of the patient's grandchildren). I think that in cantaloupe caligula's disgustingly vomit inducing comment is just enhancing and emboldening his behaviour.

This is one of the symptoms of brainmelting Dementias that make it even that much more difficult as not only the heartwrenching "Long Goodbye" but often watching their loved one becoming something their don't recognise.
