What has NOT been easy for me is re-working the Fourth Step......Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself. This is where I had to understand and accept what my DDH has told me about myself. He's told me on several occassions that a person who was "nice" before a stroke can change their personality into a B**ch after a stroke!
Phoenix,
I am sorry for hijacking your thread. My mother had many small strokes and she was like a child before she had the final catastrophic stroke.
For you to come back from that is a miracle.
Please do not let your DDH take anything away from you by calling you names or saying he read something someplace. Sounds like it might be smoke signals from his butt.

It will be difficult to ignore what he says because you know each other so well.
Hmm, maybe think of your illness and recovery as a rebirth.
You are arising from the ashes.
Some sifting to pick out what you learned and leave the rest.
I hope the best for you phoenix. you are a power to be reckoned with, and I am sure your husband is struggling with that. that is his problem, not yours.
keep the good stuff going and drop the bad.
you have a whole new life ahead of you.
Beth
