apparently was able to act like everything was normal... which we did a lot back then through it all..
I just remember the one part that the car was going fast... and that i looked up, we were in the ditch on the railroad, and my head hit the windshield and it was cracked where I was...
we were going atleast 90mph... and i was around 5 years old...
I don't remember my child hood, or that much for that matter...
but I have these flashes of those type of memories...
I think I damaged my brain physically with all of the blows that it has taken over the years...
I've been through so much, my body has been hurt so much...
Im concerned about traumatic brain injury... the new therapist mentioned it almost right off the bat, i didnt know what to say because no one has ever cared enough to talk about it...
so maybe i will try to talk to my doctors about it and see if they can do something to find out if i have actually damaged my brain or something i should be doing to make it better instead of taking all these psychiatric drugs...

my suggestion would be to check with hospitals in the area where you lived. a child of 5 does not have very strong bones. if theres an accident where the impact was so great that a childs head cracked a windshield that means there was massive and noticeable damage inside and outside the body. you would have needed to be emergency transported to the hospital for surgery, broken skull, stitches, coma and much more. your hospital records will show everything that the hospital had to do for you. your records there will be easy to locate too because hospitals never get rid of their files. most times hospitals will also give you copies of your records for free if your therapist asks for them.
