i'm sorry to hear what your ex-husband is going through. it must be a frightening time for him. you ask a good question regarding a traumatic brain injury and the possible link to dementia. i think the jury's still out on that one. we suspect there may be a link but i don't believe researchers have confirmed this. regardless your ex-husband's symptoms should be evaluated by his primary care provider. if you have a good relationship with your ex you might urge him to seek care out of concern for his well-being. your first responsibility in the situation is your children's safety. obviously i cannot and would not presume to give legal advice. if you feel it's unsafe for your husband to drive your children or have contact with them you should engage an attorney. wishing you well!
could a closed head injury cause early onset dimentia years after the injury? . my x husband had a closed head injury when he was 17. he was in a coma for a month. he had to relearn everything. he lived normal life except short term memory loss. last few years he's been exhibiting strange and unsafe behaviors and i just found out he's been wetting and soiling his pants. could this be dementia? he's the father of my kids and i'm concerned.
