KAtswhiskers,
I have been reading this post over the last few days. I am so sorry you are in the situation you are. It did not become this way over nite nor will it change overnite. I suggest that you seriously look into getting her some medical attention NOW. I would not bother with her being angry at that point, have them do the exam. If she is competant then you must get yourself out of that house and take care of yourself, if she is not then YOU need to make it very aware that she is violent towards you and the only way you can care for her is with help.
Please if you don't see the above happening get yourself some help. She can take care of herself for a few hours of the day, yYOU owe yourself to find someone who can be there face to face with you. YOU need that. No one can go on taking care of a prent without support. Not the strongest person could even watch their parent disappear before their eyes into a total stranger.
My mother has severe AD she is at home I am a strong person emotionallly but even I cannot handle it every day...and my mother was never violent like yours.
PLEASE GET HELP. The advice TP members can give you is genuine and all of us care about both the AD patient and the carer, but we can't help you in the way you need. We're only at your computer. Please walk away from the computer today and call a social worker, tell her everything you have told us...she should see that something needs to be done. And if that one doesn't help you go to another one till you find one. A squeaky wheel gets the oil and you have to be squeaky to others in the sector.
Please don't take offense katswhiskers, I know you are tired of all this, we are just trying to get you to help yourself. You deserve it and if I lived over there and knew you I promise I would be a squeaky wheel for you. Perhaps if you need someone to go with you your neighbor would help out as he has seen her tantrums.
Pleas get some help.
HUGS @ PRAYERS to you
Nancy
