My mom went through a paranoid phase. It was a very hard time. I thought maybe she was aware of her diminishing mental capacity and it was fear driven, but who knows? She got mad at me and said she never wanted to see me again, and I was very relieved to be rid of her. But then she called non-stop until I answered, so the respite was brief. After quite some time after that she decided she needed to move into assisted living, and I'm still not sure how that happened - maybe a lucid phase. Right after the move she was saying we forced her. But she was never again that paranoid, so maybe your mom come out the other side. Or cross over to the other side.
