@hjg2, this must be so hard to have your relationship with your wife reduced to caregiver as if you were never her partner. Your experience is shared by some people whose partner have dementia-related illnesses and don't remember who they are. Her anger and denial must be very hard on you.
You mentioned that it's not possible to get her to see a counselor or therapist. Have you considered seeing a therapist for you? It might help to talk with someone so that you don't have to carry this load on your own. What do you think?
