JOAN TRUBICA'S STORY

My name is Joan, Last year I belonged to a group of caregivers on line and I think the site was by a man named John. I can't remember what it was! My husband( now ex) was in a car accident May 16 1995. I was 2 months pregnant at the time. I came upon the accident after he had been airlifted to the hospital. He had a frontal lobe injury and was in a coma. I was never prepared for the drastic change in him. No one warned me. I had no computer to get all the info. available now. The supportive, loving,most romantic man you could ever meet was gone. To this day I have nightmares about the accident and I am suffering more emotionally than he is. After 3 years of dealing with this new erson, he decided he didn't love me and wanted a divorce.That was in May.

Since then he has said he wanted me back 2 times now and then out of nowhere changes his mind. No one really thinks about how the loved one of the injured party is traumatized by the accident.He is happy and going on with his life as f nothing happened.I on the other hand live with the accident daily. I have ost my soul mate. Appreciate what you have because one day it may be taken way. The one thing holding me together is our beautiful daughter. At least od let me have a rememberance of the love we once had.

Thanks for letting me share my feelings,

Joan Trubica
