A common symptoms of PCS is flat emotions. Then there is the occasional emotional lability. He may get weepy or angry at an exaggerated level beyond what would be considered appropriate for the situation.

Some of those "i miss u" texts and "just wanted to hear your voice" may need to be learned behaviors when they were previously emotionally lead behaviors. And, YES, he can learn such behaviors. In fact, the response he gets from you even though he know you understand they are a learned behaviors, not natural felt behaviors, will be beneficial to his continued learning and healing.

milesa7,

You would greatly benefit from finding a Brain Injury Support group in your area. The camaraderie of spending time with other wives will be valuable. You will be able to talk freely without having to explain every feeling you have. When you make a comment and see heads nodding, you will realize you are with others who understand.

There are books about this but being with people is far more valuable.

And, Please don't ask him about his love for you. He may not be able to respond to your liking. Years ago, during a period when my emotions were in a very flat period, my wife asked me if I loved her. I responded, "I don't know." She was devastated. Problem was I did not understand any emotional feeling about anything. I was just too flat emotionally. Seeing her hurt was just heaping pain on my own confusion.

The biggest problem is that very few professionals consider that PCS seriously effects the family too. I tried to get a wives/spouses of PCS sufferers thread started but it did not take hold.

My best to you.
