Supporter Support For Spouses Needed!

[sherri ward]

I am a 39 year old married to a TBI survivor also diagnosed with PTSD. My husband's accident was on July 11, 2009. Our life will never be right again. We have been married 20 years and have 3 kids together. His was a hit and run while he was on his motorcycle. He spent 3 weeks in a coma and over a month in the trauma intensive care unit. I quit my job to stay home and take care of him after he was discharged. Some of the changes have been the personality change, the mood swings, the temper, the short fuse. in a nutshell, 'the new normal' sucks! I get no support from either side of the family and friends try but they just dont understand. I am hoping to find some support and strength through some who have been through what I have been through.

Welcome to the forum.

I am sure you will find plenty of support, strength and some friendship thrown in for good measure.

Please check out the supporters section and read the red sticky threads, I'm sure they will help. Post as and when you can.

Hi Sherri,

As KP said, there is an entire section devoted to Supporters. The combination of TBI and PTSD is difficult and you do definitely need some support for yourself. I do believe that you will find it here.

Take care.

Hi Sherri, Welcome to the forum! :) Come on down to the supporters' section, we get it! (I'd be even crazier than I am without the community here..:eek: and whole lot less hopeful...)

I'm so sorry you and your family have been through so much, wishing you all peace and healing.

Always accepting hugs, thanks!
