Thank you for the advice Mark. I really appreciate it. I know it takes time and brain energy to respond, so I appreciate it even more.

I will try to see if I can get family to read more about brain injury from the resources you provided.

I also just need to advocate for myself and if people can't work with this, then I guess I don't need them.

I am typing this on my phone and need to get a better set up. I am traveling in Colorado mountains with poor reception. It's beautiful though and I don't even need earplugs here.

My living situation/location has not been too stable, so I haven't gotten into a real long term brain injury support group.

I'll check back when I get to a better reception/typing situation.

Thank you Mark. I wish anyone reading this a peaceful day.
