I felt horrible doing that but I couldn't think of any other solution.
TBI is tough. My son has the same diagnosis, from injuries while deployed to Iraq. His is not as severe as yours. Sad story, hope things are ok for you.

I was married for 31 years and dated for 4 before that. Lost him to ALS 2 years ago. That relationship taught me that you can be happy, even after that many years. Dating a great guy now.......who nows where it will go
