The anger is truly awful. My husband has MCI. He was misdiagnosed with Lewy Body due to hallucinations (which were caused by UTI) and stopped once the infection abated. He told the nurse that he knew we were just throwing him away. I care for him at home.

It was so very hard, I sympathize with you.

I agree, @graymare When my wife would have bouts of anger, those were some of the harder times for me. Not only would she lash out at me, but often she'd tell her hospice nurses I was being terrible to her because she knew they'd question the heck out of me about her allegations. I'd always tell myself that was her disease talking and not her but at times that was scant comfort. It was those times that led me to keep a pillow on the sofa so I could cry into it without her hearing me.
I hope today is a good one for you, your husband, and that the sun is shining on you.
Strength, Courage, & Peace
