Dear Stitcher,

Like I said, we brain injury patients can be difficult. Now that I'm more aware, I'm so grateful to my husband for all the times he stopped me from doing things when I was really out of my head. The poor man took a lot of abuse. Frankly, as my awareness is still diminished, I think it's my family that suffers the most.

Just from your note I can tell that your son is hurting a great deal. Having a TBI is frustrating, confussing and just plain scary. Could the social worker get your son into a support group with other TBI vets? If he'd go, it might be the first step on the road to acceptance and recovery.

In the meantime, do whatever you have to do to keep him from driving.

Good Luck
