TBI is such a difficult thing for loved ones to deal with. I have cared for folks with TBI in my profession and it's so hard to see what they go through as well as their family and friends.

I suppose that the TBI causes the lashing out, and the TBI causes the lack of memory. So it's a no win situation for the ones who have to deal with it day in and day out. How do we continue to keep the understanding in our minds and hearts that this individual is not the same person they were before the accident when things happen that are hurtful and our emotions are raw? I wish I had the answer to that question. Beyond getting as much education about TBI as we can get, and getting the emotional support that caregivers/family/friends need to continue in the relationships with those with TBI, I don't know what more we can do. But I do know how difficult it all is, and I'm sorry you are having to deal with it all. It can be exhausting to say the least.

I do hope you are getting some kind of support and assistance for yourself hon. You deserve it!
