Dementia patient all of sudden starts being angry at one person?

It's so hard to see the person that used to be in there. You know they're there because they pop out at times, and that's wonderful. It feels so damn good. But, most of the time it's not someone you know. And sometimes it's not someone you like. It's hard. Try to remember the person you knew before. They're still in there somewhere (from what I've read). I try to believe that.

Actually I have found that the person has aged in their brain, just like aging in other parts of the body. That's they way it comes across to me. Like for example, wrinkles on the skin. The skin and body is very different than I remember for many years but it's still the same person. Same with the brain. The essence of the person is there and always will be. Some times the out of character behavior is funny. The angry behavior is not but it isn't like they are not themselves. They never will be.
