Blaming and anger: How do you deal with it?

By all means, I totally get it.
I’ve been dealing with my husband who’s been dx’d with memory loss/probable Altzheimers for almost 2 years. Some days are worse than others but I know the worst is yet to come.
To make matters even more difficult, I’m in a wheelchair after a nasty fall last February and must rely on him for certain things. You don’t know how much that alone makes me so angry.
He’ll open the mail, and put the contents God knows where, and I’m looking everywhere. He’ll deny even opening it, while I’m steaming. Another example: He’ll use something, put it down wherever he used it. I’m looking all over for this object and when (or if) I find it in a weird place, he’ll totally deny putting it there. As you probably know, my BP is off the chart by this time.
I pray and pray for patience/tolerance. I won’t stop my prayers since I feel like that’s the reason I’ve made it this far.
These are just two small examples of my frustration/anger.
Please feel free to contact me if you like. It helps to know I’m certainly not alone.

Hugs to you! Do you think it's done on purpose? Are you permanently wheel-chair bound?
I have taken measures to reduce my frustration by scheduling a visit with a therapist.
