My husband was crossing the dividing lines and he was scaring me so I told him he had to give up driving and we got rid of the car

Such a controversial subject. After extensive cognitive testing at Duke several years ago, the doctor delivering the bad news about his cognition strongly suggested my husband stop driving. He still puttered around our small town within a few miles of home u til it became very obvious the disconnect from his brain to his arms, feet, reflexes was seriously impaired. Hitting gas instead of break. Stopping at green lights. Running red ones. We call this his backward brain. Also he can’t lift his foot from gas to brake efficiently. At all his families insistence, no more driving for pop. He listens to his kids better than me. Maybe enlist ur families help in making this important decision. So so hard. Prayers for all. 🙏🙏🙏

My husband loves driving too and I pray that he will realize and admit when it’s time. This is just heartbreaking to watch. Thank you for your reply. My very best wishes for you and your husband 💕

Trust me, you'll know! When my husband scared Himself, it was the final straw! Before that, he usually had no problem just letting me take the wheel but would occasionally hop in to drive to the corner market for his lottery tickets. I'd pace the house - praying for his safe return. It finally happened that he forgot how to get home & ran a couple stop signs in his panic. When he pulled into the driveway, he was shaking so bad I could barely get him out of the car. Since then, driving is not an option. Which is Really sad - he Loved driving.🥺
