My husband has been home with us (me and the kids) since March 31, 2011. He has been going to speech therapy and physical therapy as an outpatient twice a week. I am currently trying to get him into a Day Neuro Program to help with his Neurological deficits.

His mom finally left on Friday so she is not there to influence him.

I do love him with all my heart and I will remember to be patient. It is just so hard to be with someone who used to love me so much and now seems to look right through me.

His CT scan on Friday showed the spots in his head that were bleeding are gone but we were told that he has a collection of fluid in the frontal lobe. The neurologist said they will monitor it but nothing else.

Is this causing his cold nature behavior?

I would say is he is still healing. Love can work miracles. Keep doing what you are doing. I have a good feeling about you.

Take care,

Melody

I agree with Melody

And I would definately try not to say to much about the anger.
I would guess that he already knows this and is not happy
he is doing it. But he is so frustrated he just doesn't know
how to stop it.

I would suggest for one thing. That you help the kids with this
issue by getting them some family therapy, even if its not with
him involved. So they can learn how to deal with it.
