church just for their activities. They were still attending church where our whole family goes. Well- she took the girls to my grandpa's last night to take him cookies he had ordered from the girls fundraising and he "blew a gasket on her." He told her that she was no good and she must have done that in spite of him so he could not see that girls. Which mind you is obviously completely not the case at all. My cousin left there crying and told her husband (my blood cousin.) He then in turn called my grandpa ...They in turn got into an argument and my grandpa told him that he was disowning him and his whole family. This happened a couple months ago, a little different scenerio out of the blue with my dad. Grandpa went off to my mom how my dad never loved him even growing up, he was a momma's boy and the hell with him anymore. Grandpa has been telling everyone off recently. He has always had a temper, but this is extreme... also-my grandma passed away three years ago.. Any help? Medical?

your grandpa could be going through a deep depression, or be very lonley but it could also be something worse maybe a good physical at the dr office could help him ,Maybe he could have blood pressure problems that could lead to a stroke,i think i would really have him get a dr.apt from experience with my dad he done that to me twice and each time he was having a stroke so sometimes symptoms like he is having could be the beginning of something really serious.good luck with your grandpa and i hope things get much better

There could be many things going through your Grandpa's mind. He may realize he is getting even older and be thinking about his life, and his death. He may not know how to handle all he confusion he feels. He may be subconsciously pushing people away because he feels it will hurt the ones he leaves behind less hurt if they thought he was a grumpy old man. I would have your family members write him a letter telling him of their concerns for him, and his happiness. Let him know you all love him, and are there to support him. Let him know there is help for depression, to just talk to his doctor. Even though he may not respond, maybe it will open his eyes and heart a little bit, and he'll realize how he's feeling and how his anger is hurting himself and everyone around him. He'll also know that everyone still loves him, no matter what...whether he's saying mean things or not. Hopefully, it isn't something physical making him act out, but his doctor could determine this too. Best of wishes...Hang in there!

your grandpa might not have gone through the grieving process yet he sounds like hes angry at the world not just family i would discus this in your family and see if they what to do something or maybe the family get together and sit down and have a talk to him about the way hes been behaving he might not be aware of how much he has changed good luck x

Sounds like something might be going on. I would get him to a doctor asap. Sounds like he's not to far from doing some sort of violence. Does he use his anger and nasty behavior as a tool to keep people away from him? Maybe something major(important to him) has happened and he's pushing people away because of it. My grandfather had mean and nasty temper later on in his llife. We found out he had throat cancer which had spread to his brain and other places.No win situation for you, good luck.

i am sorry to read this about your grand-father , it sounds to me ,as if senility is hitting him a bit , alot of elderly people go trough this process and sort of loose their mind , some of them are aggressive and others not , nothing much you can do ? sorry :-(
patience and love ? and mostly , for all of you ,try very hard not to contradict him , hard to do ? easier said than done ?
good luck to you :-)

Mental evaluation is seriously necessary. He is getting worse, and mental illness does get worse as one ages unless under care and the person is working on him or herself.
