My husband brought our friend who was diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia to the Munster game at the weekend.
He's had a marked deterioration it is so very sad to see. The anxiety is really contributing to his situation as well.
When my husband came back after dropping him he sat down and cried.

Oh that's rough.

Terribly so. This man has had so many setbacks in life and he is someone who anyone would say doesn't deserve it.
The type of good person who is always there for others. Decent, kind, there are so many good things could be said about him. Great sportsman too in the past.
He has two children he hasn't seen in a long time, and is someone who the family courts have chewed up and spat out.
False accusations, lies etc and just refusal by his ex wife to obey any order with no consequence. He has never stopped trying to be there for them, and he has given us letters to try get to them in the future along with all his documentation etc.
He's now in shared accommodation at almost 50 and can't work any more.
We are fearful he will just decide enough is enough and end it.

jeez, the poor fella

I have seen the exact same thing happen a friend in the family courts, I've posted about it here before. I'm just glad I haven't had to deal with anything like it as it would genuinely undermine your belief in the justice system when you see it play out - the fathers that really do care still dont stand a chance and get treated the same as the losers who couldn't give a toss.

Fair play to your husband, that kind of friendship is probably all his friend has now.

He was always there for us. Too many people forget things like that when times are tough.
He would be younger than us which makes it sadder still. Was always very good to our children, particularly our son who looked up to him.
It's devastated our children too.
He was/is a wonderful father who's children always came first.
You are right that it would undermine your faith in the system and in humanity also. That someone can so clearly and openly set out to destroy another human being and get support in doing so is terrifying to see.

That's truly, truly sad. It gives me a lump in my throat to think of the poor fella. And so young for such a debilitating disease. They say about that disease is the person dies a number of times.
God bless that man and he's lucky to have you and your family as friends.

That's unfortunately a very true description.
His own parents have passed on. It killed him and them they lost their grandchildren. As I said he was always the epitome of a good friend. He got our son his start in his career so you cannot but try to be there.
I really am fearful that he will just give up.

^Beware of websites like the one above which offer "free" online personality/autism/ADHD tests and charge you to see the results, if you do so they will have your card details and automatically sign you up for a monthly subscription which will be a pain in the ass to cancel. It's a hidden subscription scam.

The trick is to get you to waste five minutes of your time answering multiple choice questions in the hope that having done so you will pay the nominal fee of €1.99 to get the ensuing "report" sent to you.

I know it's hard to believe anyone could be so dumb as to fall for this scam but such fools are out there.

Can your friend still comfortably read?
If so, I can recommend some reading that might help him understand what has happened to him and his 2 children. Maybe material that might be too heavy and too late.. The family law system is just outdated, designed to deal with traditional deserted housewife in the 70s with most of its modus operandi derived out of the women’s lib movement. Some men are decent at least, many are great Dads and almost all of those get crushed
