I read that your mother is depressed. Chances are that she has anxiety that is being expressed as anger. That happens a good bit. My only advice here would be to let her doctor know what is happening. A geriatric psychiatrist may be able to find medications that will make her more comfortable, making your caregiving life easier.

Something that may help you is to come back and talk about things that are happening. I come on the group here when things are bad and feel better when I write about them. We can't say things to everyone on the street. They would think us terrible. You are putting up with a lot, so feel free to vent here. Big hugs.
