Welcome to NT, sorry to hear of your injury and relationship struggles.

My guess is that your injury may have contributed to, but is probably not the root cause of his decision. To me a "special love" would have included a deep heartfelt caring that would have included helping you as your caregiver and otherwise encouraging your recovery.

Sounds as if you are making good progress otherwise, and your CBT and other therapies should be helpful in recovering from the relationship challenges as well as the residual PCS symptoms.

Wishing you continued recovery, wellness and peace.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
