Jekyll and Hyde

Has anyone else experienced their loved one being "in their face" for hours in the middle of the night screaming obscenties and accusations, forcable holding them down on the bed when they try to leave and then days later wanting nothing but sex from them?

Welcome to the forum. If you read a lot of threads the answer is yes. But: this sounds extremely dangerous in a number of aspects. You need to talk to his doctors right away. He may need to be hospitalized to get the behavior under control, including the hypersexuality. You should not hesitate to cal. 911 if you need to. Meanwhile, identify a safe room in your house that you can lock yourself into if necessary. Never go anywhere without your cell phone, and put an emergency bag of clothing etc. In the trunk of your car so that you can leave if necessary.

medication is indicated and can help. Don't wait.

You need to make sure you have protection! This might be the time to check out your area for memory facilities where he can live. You don’t want to be hurt, or worse. You need to take action on this fast. You might have a DV shelter in your area where you can go fast. The police should know where the shelter is and help you.

This sounds like an urgent and dangerous situation. You can call the 24/7 free Alzheimer's Association helpline at 1 -800- 272-3900 and ask to speak to a care counselor. Good luck!

Thank you to all that have commented. I have family coming to town next week to help with decisions. He seems so good during the morning hours, it's so hard to wrap my mind around.

It is a very difficult situation to say the least. Your safety is an absolute priority - please take the advice that has been provided above by other Members. We are not professionals who have assessed your husband, but we do have personal experience that may possibly be helpful while you are assessing how to move forward under the circumstances.

This is not a situation that can be well managed by one person or by a person's visiting family. It is of the nature that appears to require professional management.

Please do get to the professionals for a complete assessment and understanding on your part for what is most likely necessary and to get your Loved One the much needed assistance that can be helpful. You and your Loved One will then be able to be best served by the assessment and identified needs for best care practice at this point.

I am so sorry you are experiencing this; please do let us know how you are, we will be thinking of you and I wish you a swift and good outcome.
