How old is your mother? (In your profile you state that you are 48.) Do you live with her in her home, or vice versa?

What do you do for her in terms of caregiving? If you don't live with her, how often do you see her?

Are you an only child?

Do you have POA/HCPOA?

Hi Jenna
If your moms behavior is new, she may have a UTI. UTIs can really increase dementia symptoms. Sometimes the person doesn’t have normal symptoms like frequency of urination or burning. Good idea to get it checked out as UTIs can be toxic.

Welcome to the forum and the world of caregiving. Sorry your mom is yelling at you and having tantrums. Not fun. Is she diagnosed with dementia? If not, I'd work on getting an evaluation. If she refuses, OK, you can see by her behavior that she's having issues.

Does she live with you? If not, seriously cut back on the time you spend with her. Less opportunity to yell!

Do some reading on setting boundaries. And on grey rocking on how not to react and engage to their b.s.

Good luck.
