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

My situation is the same, never know what to expect each moment, hour or day. The name calling, blaming and shoving when he’s upset is the worst. He has 2 handguns that I finally hid because he couldn’t remember how to use them. He was always pulling them out trying to remember but he ended up jamming them. I was afraid that he might accidentally harm himself, our little dog or possibly me then who’d care for him. I hid them and he’s never missed them.

I had to hide my husbands key's because he cannot drive. Oh, was he so ANGRY! He thinks in his mind he will drive again. Nope will never happen. He doesn't focus and cannot remember where places are. I am just trying to keep him safe. When his Dr.said he should not drive, he took it as a YES! No way will he ever drive again.The anger towards me is above and beyond. He thinks that I want to ruin his life. Actually I think he has made my life unbearable at times. He is falling more and more. The last one was pretty bad! Just another day and what will come next.

Our basement was stuffed full of things saved “we might need”, I piled a lot of medium to small stuff against the locked door to the gun closet. ALOT of things, I knew he would get distracted and tired trying to get through it. He never got through it, I think he forgot about them too.
I felt somewhat unsafe from his intermittent tirades and wandering around, especially at night. I told him I was going to sleep in one of the kids bedrooms because he was waking me up with the up and down. He didn’t like it, but didn’t argue. I slept the best sleep in months behind that locked bedroom door.
