@Ingit I am really sorry this happened to you. I am also having a difficult situation with my family after an accident, and it's completely changed our lives. If you ever want to talk about it you can DM me without any problem. I send you lots of love and strength ❤️

Have you considered reaching out to a support group for caregivers? It can be incredibly helpful to connect with others going through similar experiences. You can find them if you contact a local psychiatrist. Your situation seems tough but acceptance is the key.

Experiencing someone close to you face debilitating conditions is one of the most difficult things for a human.

@Ingit my sympathies. I have a few people in the family either with ongoing or showing first signs. It is heart-breaking. It is important you don't blame yourself or feel fully responsible to become the primary caretaker for her. While she may need your support, it is important your life doesn't begin to revolve around your mother's condition as you'll grow to loath her for it. 

There are some good materials, videos and books  on Dementia. Some really good videos shared above. If you are interested, you can educate yourself briefly on the condition, on what is happening and what are some potential elements that make it worse. 

To a certain degree you may have control over the progression however there is not yet an evidence of reversal being documented which saddens me greatly. 

But ultimately this condition is heavily affected by genes, upbringing and life long environment so consider what sort of support systems are available to your family. 

Wishing you all the best
