Yes, I feel the same. Life takes on a whole new perspective huh? Many days I feel like a teenager and my 25 year old son is now the parent determining when I'm allowed to use my OWN car, how much money I can spend (can spend too much sadly). I can't live alone since I forget to do things like pay the bills so it feels like I've gone backwards. lol

Feeling a loss of independence has been the most difficult thing throughout this whole life change. The irony for me is before my accident as a single mom I thought it would be great to have someone take care of things for me, even as a self-reliant personality type it seemed like a dream come true to be lifted of some burdens. Now that it isn't a choice, or a dream, I'm not so wild about truly needing others to thrive. Hindsight makes me more careful of the things I wish for since I might get them in ways I never imagined. ;-) I also fear I'll turn into a recluse never leaving the house again because the world is too loud - or else turn to being a superhero using my new heightened abilities of hearing and light detection to thwart bad guys. lol
