I dealt with exactly this.
I managed to put them in a nursing home after 3 years. It’s hard. They didn’t understand what they were doing. I couldn’t watch them 24/7 and I started feeling unsafe in my own home.
After going to the nursing home they started taking medication that did help a little bit. Just not having to care for them is probably what has provided more relief though.
If you are able to place them somewhere, that may help your relationship.
It really is extremely hard taking care of someone especially with dementia.
