Agree. And fwiw, it was the same with my ex-mil's dementia. Her veneer, which was thin to start with, completely disappeared and she got outright mean - said hurtful things to her sons, totally despised her daughters-in-law, and made everyone miserable at the seniors' residence/nursing home. It was sad to see. But I don't take that away as her core, true personality - it was an aspect that surfaced when there were no inhibitions, but she also had history that showed courage and determination and other good things. Like everyone else, she was complex.
