Question
ArmyWife07
Hello,
My husband is currently undergoing his MEB process and I had some questions for some of the veterans out there who suffer from a TBI. My husband suffered several head traumas during his 7 tours and changed dramatically after his 6th tour where he went into a coma after an IED blast. After his tour, his personality changed and he became very self-centered and aggressive. Sometimes he'll become very aggressive and narcisistic whereas at other times he remains calm and laid-back. His switch or 'trigger' is unknown, but he can switch into aggressive behavior in an instant and it doesn't take much to make him angry. In addition he has memory trouble, disorientation, impulse problems, a lack of empathy, difficulty with abstract thinking, problem-solving difficulties, and other associated trouble.
Has anyone else suffered from this 'personality change?' Have you found a way to overcome this trouble or something that helped in some way? I'm willing to change anything and everything I do to help my husband. If you're someone who suffered this injury 20+ years ago, has your behavior imporved at all? If anyone has any helpful information or any resources that can help; please, please share them.
