Discuss with his doctor about medication for anxiety.
And is the doctor aware of the delusions?
Once he is properly medicated and even properly diagnosed hopefully the anger and delusions will be less of a problem
BUT if they continue you need to protect your son and yourself as well as your husband. If at anytime you feel that you are in danger you must call 911. Tell your son the same thing if he happens to be home and you are not.
When you call tell the dispatcher that the person is threatening you, your son or himself. Tell them that your husband has dementia. (I think the response will be different than if they think they are going to a different situation)
It might be time to think about the What If's. If it is not safe for him to be at home you will have to think about placing him in Memory Care.
