So Glad to know this is not me. My 18 year old daughter whom I love dearly, will corner me with these type of discussions. She gets upset because she thinks I am not listening....oh I hear her....it is just so darned nerve wracking and if I get one sentence that connects, I am lucky.

Hi,
I have a sixteen year old daughter who was fourteen at the time of my accident/injury, and she would get so mad at me for not responding like I once did. She didn't realize I had to process all she had told me first, then try to speak with my word-finding, stuttering way that actually was what I meant to tell her.
2 years later, I can respond more timely and with more accuracy than before, but mostly she now understands my brain issues better. She now sees me struggling with words, and says, "it's okay, Mom. Just rest for now and we'll talk later." Thank God for my family, who are now accustomed to the new me! M-i-m
