Early sign of dementia?

ZieMaga

My father (75) is refusing to reimburse for a trip we took, because he believes my brother did not reimburse him for some items over 11 years ago. Over these 11+ years, there has been no mention of this debt, and my father has reimbursed my brother for his portion of several other trips.

Possibly also related - my father has not given my middle child a birthday present for several years, but typically (not always) gives my other two children gifts.

Is grudge-holding or grudge-fabricating a sign of dementia? It runs in our family, but haven't seen other signs in my father.

Hello ZieMaga, welcome to the forum. Possibly, but it could also be any number of other things. To notice the disease in the very early stages you usually have to spend a lot of time with a person. Perhaps this might be helpful-
