My uncle who shares a house with my Mother and I. He has been suffering with dementia for the past 4 years. He will undergo medical assessments on a certain date soon. He is always shouting at and fighting with my Mother everyday. And now she is feeling destroyed with it. This happens every early afternoon at tea time. And he is aggressive with me also. My uncle's behaviour is now becoming worse. What should I do about it when this keeps on happening?
Advice please

I spoke to his GP yesterday. I don't think he's on medication yet and hasn't been diagnosed as yet.

Make sure you tell the GP exactly what is happening. Ask for an urgent appointment & try to be there.
If your uncle’s behaviour escalates and your mum or you feel threatened have you got a safe room you can retreat to until your uncle calms down?
One that locks, and keep your mobile phone with you just in case as Bod suggests you need to call 999.
it’s best not to argue with your uncle if you can avoid it at this time and just try to walk away. At least I found this worked best with my dad when he started to get agitated. There was no point in arguing with him as he “knew” he was right no matter how illogical his stance was!

We spend time in our rooms. It happens when both me and my Mother are getting our dinner. I have called the police a few times. It gets can be unbearable living under the same roof. He has a habit of knocking on the doors to argue also.
