Please read Part 1 and Part 3 for context. Thank you.
“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your masters house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don’t get full value from your efforts.” The pot said.
The Water Bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he… Continue

Differentiating between mind and body.
Now that I am not a young kid anymore, other things that effect the mind is starting to take place. For example the change of life. Menopause and the hormonal changes. How to tell the difference if you are dealing with the changes and emotions of menopause, or if you are dealing with the emotions of TBI. How do you explain the difference to your friends and loved ones, how do you help them to deal with it? Most of the times when you cannot explain it leads to solitude. I hate solitude, and as… Continue

Knowing Bethany
Growing up with TBI, my parents thought that I would not be able to do anything. So they held me back somewhat, instead of encouraging me. I was never a popular kid, being tortured on a daily basis by my peers, coming home crying, with bubble gum stuck in my hair, and dealing with this disability and being a hormonal teenager was very difficult. I never thought I was going to amount to anything at all. To this day, I struggle with the feelings that my mother and father should've just put me in… Continue

The head leader of these groups were head injury specialist counselors. I remember vaguely my first encounter… Continue
