that is just cruel of him, how could any one do that to some one they love

Wow. What a complete SOB. I wish I could be totally shocked by this…but I’ve seen too much of it. Call the authorities. That would be abuse, and he should be held accountable for his actions.

ETA: After reading the other answers, YES, it is a criminal act. He was responsible for her care and welfare, knowing full well that she had dementia and was incapable of caring for herself. If he’s reported and nothing happens, I’d be shocked.

I agree wholeheartedly with ruth. If he couldn’t handle it, to abandon her is one thing, but to leave her alone like that without notifying anyone, one has to wonder if that would be a criminal act. My parents were in a long marriage, and when my mom got ill, my dad was there for her, right by her side. She died 4 years ago and he still grieves for her. I think your step great grandfather used her and I wouldn’t be surprised if he abused her, too. It just sounds like the actions of an abuser. Sorry to hear that.

He finally had an excuse

Its very sad but maybe he is not well himself and not making decisions he would normally make. Obviously he doesnt know how or want to care for anybody, if she cared for his son. Just see is as a blessing that she took care of his child and I hope someone will step up and help her… this man is not mentally capable, which is very sad but reality.

Some repayment, huh? None of us really know if our spouse will be there for us or not unless he/she is tested.

That sounds like something that he could criminally go to jail for

If I were you I’d march myself right down to the local police station and start pressing charges on this sorry @ss

Selfish and scared.

Don’t worry. He’ll get his.

Sorry to hear that. My ex-husband’s grandfather from the mother side did the same thing and cut everyone out of the will who were related to the grandmother, even his own kids. He quickly remarried and passed his wealth to his new wife.

It is just stupidity and selfishness of that person. He was looking for someone to take care of his problem and would run off when problems started to affect the other person. I am so sure that he would have stuck around if he had dementia. Just a damn user!

as soon as their was no gain with the relationship he bailed out, making him a very selfish man.
