Anger issues with no doctor

My DH is so angry with me every day since I took his car keys.  He has locked me out of the house, tried to disable my car and made endless threats.  I am so tired.  I don’t want to get up in the morning.  I called the alz hotline, engaged a therapist and a gerontologist,  talked with our children, all while trying to keep him calm.  He’s not violent, just verbally abusive. He has VD about stage 4, I think.  Thanks for letting me vent.

    Vent away. Everyone of us needs to vent sometimes.

    I don’t think, once the keys are taken away, that you can ever relax your villagence. A good friend has a husband who stopped driving by himself. One day he announced that he didn’t want to drive anymore. They sold his car. Since he voluntarily stopped, my friend didn’t worry too much about her keys. One day about a year later he took the keys and took off. The inevitable accident happened. Car damage no injuries. Friend started hiding the keys. Six months later he found them and took off again. Luckily no injuries.
