Julie, I am curious, when did the extreme anger begin with Bill? Did he always have this tendency and now it is worse or has this developed recently?

He always could be quick to anger over the oddest things. If a guest used the wastebasket in the guest bath and didn't empty it before they left it would trigger an outburst! Now he is using the wastebasket which he wouldn't before lol. The anger has gotten more in the past ten, twelve years. He would get mad at one commercial (which played a lot) - wanting to kill the spokesman - I would tell him to just put it on pause, or turn the sound off; which he didn't. He so totally over reacted that it raised alarm bells. Fortunately he has forgotten about that channel!

So the tendency towards anger has always been there but with the dementia it isn't as controlled. He is also using swear words towards Robin and me that he never used towards family.

He is also getting where he is sure we are plotting against him. One of those times was when Robin and I were figuring out which TV and lift chair would be best for him. According to him 'TV" and "chair" were code words. So just very odd things showing up. Magnified?
