at my head injury group , I was saying to one of the staff how upset, I was feeling, that I could not help my youngest prepare for the 11+ tests. it feels like a kick in the guts

the reply from this person, was well I could not help my kids ether , this lack of understanding vexes me so much, I intend to leave, the group, there only motivation, is to get people back to work, as what I wonder, ?

I think some and I stress some, who work with head injured, are in the job just to boost there own ego,s and finances, as they under achieved, and think we should, settle for there limitations

well if they, never had it in the first place, how could they miss it, ? huh

sorry to rant but I am way PO ed at the moment and totally understand when you say

(I can't do anything I used to do and I just about cope with work by working at a lower (non-executive) job with supportive colleagues and writing everything down.)

unfortunately the world is not populated by, supportive colleagues and being force to work at a menial level and in constant head pain, and confusion would kill me

is not right ? the politics of the UK has taken a nasty step, of late with, in its scape goating of the disabled

you need time to adapt !! on all levels

please see link (I had to remove because of forum posting limited!)
I did more damage going back to work and then you get dumpt when deficits become apparent and starts to costs money

keep posting and rant and moan all you want

because we understand welcome
