					<description><![CDATA[I was 20 when I suffered my head injury, my friend’s &#038; I were attending different colleges &#038; beginning our life as young adults.  I just celebrated my 25th anniversary of my accident over the summer.

I use to bring it up &#038; share, but I’ve decided to celebrate the me that is WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!!  I’m NOT that sad, broken person anymore.  It’s a sad story &#038; I’ve worked hard to get to where I am.

I will say some people notice how well I’ve done for myself, but none of those friendships have resurfaced.   Good luck everyone…IT’S THEIR LOSS!  There is nothing wrong with us!<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. Keep your head up &#038; good luck finding your sunshine]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m glad I came across this article as I&#039;m probably in the denial stage of friendships changing after my brain injury. I&#039;m shielding myself from more hurt by believing they&#039;re just too busy to be around anymore. Thank you for your insightful words Michelle.]]></description>

God, Ryan, what a loss for you. I guess we all assume a certain bond among first responders and people in military service...and we assume lasting bonds with our families as well. I&#039;m so sorry you have lost so many in your quest to regain yourself. May you find sturdy and devoted friends, and a safe haven to call home, from here on in. I agree with &quot;a very few&quot; -- I can count my &quot;very few&quot; on one hand. Bless those who choose to stay by our sides...they are the rarest gems.]]></description>

Dawn I’m so sorry to hear that you feel your family are uninterested. 
The only thing I can say as someone who helped her dad through Alzheimer’s, is sometimes it’s too painful to witness what the person you love is going through.
You have done amazingly well to come as far as you have. But perhaps still seeing your lasting effects might be too heartbreaking for them. 
I don’t know, but it’s a thought.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not sure if this is the appropriate spot to post or not.  My relationships with my family have been really impacted.  My family is no longer interested in how I&#039;m doing, they all refuse to learn anything about TBI and overall have no idea what I go through every day. I was in an anoxic coma for almost 3 months.  I had to learn how to walk, talk and cognitively function to some degree.  Fortunately, I have a caregiver who comes 4 times a week for 5 hour each day.  Without her around, I would be lost. I cannot find any info on this topic and if anyone can point me in the right direction??  I guess it&#039;s really unusual to have a family who really doesn&#039;t care.]]></description>

I feel for you. It&#039;s a shame she didn&#039;t tell you how she was feeling herself. But perhaps she was too overwhelmed because of her injury. I&#039;m sorry you&#039;re hurting.]]></description>

Oh Tanya I feel your pain. I also had a situation with a close family member who never explained what I did wrong. And I can&#039;t have any communication with her. Leaves you feeling powerless.]]></description>

I&#039;d like to add it seems to me that her family have turned her against me. One minute she was saying she loved me and missed me and the pooch. 90 minutes later she was being so awful to me and told me goodbye. Then that&#039;s when her family told me to forget about her and move on. This isn&#039;t what she wanted but I&#039;ve been made out to be a nasty person. She&#039;s blocked me on everything but then I noticed a few days ago she&#039;s unblocked me on twitter. I don&#039;t know what this means.]]></description>
