Two at risk children

I have been separated from my children’s father for over 11 years now. He has Huntington’s Disease. We just found out the diagnosis about 6 mos ago. Looking back on our marriage I realize the disease played a huge part in the destruction of it.

My husband lives on his own. His house is filthy with trash everywhere. He cannot remember to pay his utility bills and often is without hot water in the house.

I have tried numerous times to clean his home but he cannot stand the disruption. I have offered to move in and care for him but he can never give me an answer and I can’t just barge in.

I don’t know what to do for him or where to get help. Any suggestions?
