It is VERY hard. When I got my concussion, my husband was already caring for his mother (living with us) who was dying of cancer. I had been mostly responsible for our six-year-old son. Then I got concussed, and suddenly it all landed on him. It was totally overwhelming for him, and I felt frustrated and helpless because I knew how much he needed my help and I just COULDN'T do the things I wanted to in order to help him.

Do, please, take care of yourself.

If he needs that level of attention, are there some friends that could come sit with him for short times so you could get away? I had a friend who would come most days and take me out for a walk. That was very helpful (got me out of the house, gave me some exercise, and gave my husband a break that he wasn't responsible for).

Caregiver support group sounds very good too. Maybe not even for TBI caregivers, just for caregivers in general. Check with your local hospital or even family practice?

You are doing a great job. It's so hard, especially when it sounds like you've had a lot of other stressful things going on even before the injury.
