So...today my Mum punched my Sister and my brother in law during a full fledged kick off. No reason, just a sudden switch when they were walking the dog. She started trying to walk off and my Sister tried to get her to come back as she had no idea where she was. She started screaming to leave her alone, swearing and shouting. They tried everything to reason with her and encourage her but she kept walking off. Eventually, they did get her by the arm and put her and the car but she was fighting the whole time. Very embarrassing but they just wanted to try to keep her safe and they were being physically attacked.
Once in the car she was trying to punch the windows, trying to open the door when the car was moving and veering wildly between hysterical sobbing and furios anger. She was taken back to her care home.
This is the second dangerous incident in the last month as she did similar to me but she managed to open the living car door on me and when I pulled the door closed, she smacked me in the face while I'm trying to drive and get the door shut. Couldn't do an emergency stop due to traffic so pulled over as quick as I could and she escaped and started heading towards an extremely busy road. I had to physically restrain her and I was on my own. Punched and abused me more times, I had to get her back though. So upsetting and terrifying.
We don't know what to do. No clear triggers. No UTI present that we know though she's had 3 in 4 months at her so called care home. She makes no sense, can't convey or comprehend anything. Not sure what we should do next - and yes we do have both LPAs. She doesn't take any medication for this condition though it may be necessary I think. She is unhappy and we are moving homes but I just don't know if it is the progression of the disease, undiagnosed pain or some other trigger. She cannot come out of a care home as she was completely unsafe and helpless at home and private carers couldn't give the support we needed. So sorry for the long message but we are at our wits end.
