Hi thank you for allowing me to join this forum. I feel so tired and need advice on how to cope with my husbands verbal agression. He won't believe there is anything wrong with him and believes everything is my fault.

Hello and welcome @Josie-online to this friendly and supportive forum. There is a wealth of shared experience of dementia here so I am glad you have found us.
I am sorry to read about your husband's aggression. That must be extremely difficult for you; I do feel for you. Is there any way you can get him to a GP appointment - or what may be useful if you can keep a written record of his behaviours, outbursts etc and let the GP know yourself of your concerns.

I am attaching a link which you may find useful to help with dealing with and tips :
