They built a marriage after such a devastating TBI.My grandparents just had one.Grandfather got hit over the head during a robbery which aggravated a tree fallinf on his head as a teen.Yes TBI effects can ve cumulative.I have a cousin today who played football in college.His wife is a saint.In most cases it is an acknowledgement that the personality changes are because of the injury.Acceptance is the key.

Actually she has a very big problem: the over the hill actress needs publicity and another movie deal to hang on to her fame and fortune.
When you think you got it bad, there is always somebody else who's got it worst.
It feels like something is still greatly wrong between them. I hope my feeling is not accurate.
Amazing story, a real tear jerker. Lumberjacks call those branches "widow makers".
