[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your situation, op?[/quote]

The person is a little aggressive toward certain people. [/quote]

one of your parents is aggressive towards the other?  If so, it might not be dementia.   Maybe they are fed up and finally showing it.[/quote]

No, at family gatherings, a parent tends to be aggressive towards immediate family members (plural) that they see often, but not every week. The parent has never had a great disposition, but what once was merely snark, has escalated in their older years. The family members do not engage, but the aggression is becoming more obvious.

This was my experience. With dad he was only agitated and mean with mom. Even at the end he could still be kind to me. This may be one of many reasons why as mom developed dementia I was the primary target for her anger bombs. It was only when i took long breaks from seeing her that she started hurling anger grenades at other. Before that everyone gaslit me and assumed I was being extreme.[/quote]
