You need advice from Alzeimers institute etc, and have husband/siblings/doctor/all on the same page.
The aggression is hard to deal with, and my sympathy, but remember some or much of it is a symptom of disease and not her own voice.

I totally understand that. I spoke with the psychologist, who after further research is not even a psychologist, but a Lic. Clin. Soc. Worker. I think this woman is going to be a big part of the battle as my mom has her convinced of very strange things that are not true, despite her claiming trying her hardest to remain objective.
FWIW, The last couple years I've been telling family members that my mother has been exhibiting Alzheimer's and Dementia symptoms. It's not hard to read and cross reference, but nobody wanted to hear it.
I understand that as this new person is not my mother. She may have done/said bad things over time, but this is really bad and truly not comparable to anything prior.
