Trying to accept the moodswings

My mother's dementia is causing me so many issues. She thinks that things have been stolen, like a ring or money. She has taken out her security cameras in her apartment at an assisted living facility. One minute she's happy and the next she is a fierce angry woman. I just need help accepting that it's not just my mother anymore, it is a person with dementia.
