It's not all the time though. I try to keep him being independent by having him set up his pills in the weekly box, by using his online banking to see what his account balances are. I think if I took his independence away, he probably would kill himself. He's a very prideful guy and boy that would really hurt his pride.

That is called dementia. My grandmother is going through the same thing right now and started just as you described. Best to nip it in the bud before he kills someone or ends up in a real bind that makes him want to off himself even more. That seems more like denial on your part to be totally frank.
