Your mother has dementia and has become combative. Is that the situation?
Teepa Snow has many videos on u-tube addressing lots of aspects of caring for persons with dementia. Search Teepa Snow Combative for a good sampling of these.
This is also something you should discuss with her doctor. Is she generally anxious? Depressed? Agitated? Talk to her doctor.
For more specific answers, perhaps you could give us an example of a combative incident and explain a little background. How old is your mom? How long has she had dementia? What is her living situation (with you, in a care center, etc.)?
