Severe TBI from car crash, now severe social indifference

It's been 20 years since my brain injury and coma. I still feel like that. But I've learned to give ppl the benefit of the doubt. There is a lot of ugliness but there is more beauty. That's what I do, I look for the good, the beautiful, the ethical and the fair. Sometimes it's tough but I refuse to be a Scrooge the rest of my life.

@andygw my husband didn’t start experiencing his symptoms til 2020, 16 years post accident, diagnosed with PTSD, TBI and persistent post concussion syndrome, have seen every doctor under the Sun since then, that was the one thing they didn’t really check was his head, though all his hair fell out in the back of his head after his 2 week stay in the ICU. He had 8 broken ribs, 3 crushed, punctured lung, surgery on his hand, elbow and knee, tongue 3/4 of the way cut through, sowed his ear back on……3 weeks after our son was born, that along with playing high school & College Football (cracked helmets) and a cracked snowmobile helmet as well. All they do is throw meds at him - 13 currently - he is losing hope.
You have every right as your accident was not your fault. Wonder if those that caused it ever think about it or feel guilty? So sorry!
My husband to is angry “at the world” most days, angry because he is not who he used to be, how he can’t do certain things, it flows into his marriage and mostly the relationship with our son. H says and has done some horrible things to him (derogatory) & can’t help it and later is sorry, but it’s too late. I am so sorry about your accident.
