Oh hell, more unexpected bills my wife doesn't remember...

I never realized her memory is going so badly. A month or two ago we had to come up with $17,000 to cover a credit card she thought she'd been paying off, but evidently hadn't made payments on in years. Then tonight I decided I'd look through the piles of papers she keeps sorting through while watching TV and found another unpaid credit card bill for $16,000, a bill for a card we can't even identify, and a couple of other past due notices I'd never seen. I think I'm going to have to totally take over all bills but I feel like I'm I'm telling her she's no longer competent mentally as I go through the bills. She's always been a take charge person, very competent, but now it seems like it's just getting worse and worse. I feel like I'm losing her.

Sounds very necessary.

@Mindful Yes, but while she talks about Alzheimer's running in her family she seems to want to deny that it might be affecting her already in her early 70s. But this is getting scary.
