i can see why it would be hard to share about the stroke with people... friends... colleagues when your family is scared of it and seemingly can't or doesn't want to deal.

it makes me sad that you felt like it was your fault. i understand how that can be though. how many times have i felt that depression was my fault... sigh.

i hope that nowadays you are able to hang on firmly to the knowledge that it is NOT IN ANY WAY your fault.
