I've considered cutting myself totally out of my family's lives because they are just more trouble than they are worth. I just want to start everything all over and totally reinvent myself and find a new way of life for the new me.
Did anyone else go through this? Seems that I would have gone through this before now. It has been three years. It's so hard to start over with so few tools to work with. I just know that I need a new start.

welcome
sorry you are going through this, there seems to be no set time for feelings with any injury and that go,s for family and freinds as well, all I can sugest is to seek more and as much rehabilitation as you can get and need , outside your family, my patner go,s to a carers support group that helps her to off load,
I think we go through all the emotions every day with this eg anger sadness giult ,ect with windows of its ok , the trick is to make the ok times longer
easy said huh , but I find getting out and trying to take action for myself helps
best wishes to you and your family
