Hello, I can understand your distress. Such a behaviour in her age group could indicate possible brain condition. If the behavioral change has been abrupt and sudden, there is a strong possiblity of dementia problem. Depression, psychosis , personality changes are common problems at this age. There is a need to investigate further. A brain MRI scan can yield valuable information. A detailed psychiatric workup is needed.

Aging and memory issues do cause irritable behavior. Don't argue or challenge her thoughts and expression. Make her calm, reassure about her demands and be cooperative. Don't respond or hurt by her abusive words. She doesn't meant it, it's just her aging and frustration compel her to behave in certain way. Be supportive and understanding rather than critical.

Does she have memory disturbances?
