Dealing with Dementia Caregiver Anger

It’s a lot of little things. I’ve never had to worry about mum eating anything strange before. I could leave the room without worrying that whatever was within reaching distance would not go in her mouth. Not anymore! The other day, I saw mum mistaking tissues for food for the first time. She was dipping tissues in her tea and then putting them into her mouth. I just jumped up automatically and shouted for her to stop. I thought she was eating the tissues.
