My mother's second cousin (as well as his brother and father) have Huntington's Disease.
He was the first to become ill, and they had no previous knowledge of the disease in the family.
He became symptomatic as a teenager, and his mom and dad believed for a long time that he was on drugs.
His speech was slurred and slow, he staggered about with balance issues, and had rages...all classic symptoms of substance abuse...or of course a disease of the nervous system.
I feel for you, and do think that you should seek legal counsel in this situation.
Wishing you the best of outcomes!
