[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 100322, member: 84"] Janet If this is all post stroke it's probably due to brain damage to the part of the brain that controls this. So no, husband is not going to realize he is behaving out of character. But there are probably medications the doctor can give him to help. (I'd go to the neuro not a psychiatrist first) Could you use Keyana as leverage? I'm sure he is as concerned for her well being as you are, especially with as much as he loves her. Maybe have a sit down and calmly explain that these outburst are not only traumatizing her, but are potentially dangerous too. Then explain about what I said with strokes often changing behavior. (depends on what area of the brain the stroke occured) That while he doesn't see it, everyone else has and are very worried about him. If the boys could manage to sit and talk to him calmly, you might want to use them to back you up. Then if he's still resistant, ask him to do it as a favor to you. Cuz if this is an after effect of the stroke, and I'm pretty darn sure from what you've said that it is, he probably doesn't have control over the behavior. Which makes his aggression completely unpredictable. Not good. I mention the resistant part, and getting the family to calmly back you up because after my skull fracture I was so "out of it" that I wasn't acting at all like my normal self. Fortunately the brain damage didn't make me more aggressive. But it did change my character completely for about 2 yrs. easy child finally got brave enough to step up to the plate and sit down and talk to me about it. Honestly, I kid you not, I didn't have a clue. I thought I was fine except for problems with short term memory. I wasn't back to myself until the 3rd yr, and I find it utterly amazing when I look back at my behavior at that time. husband's brain damage may heal with time, that's hard to predict. But even if it does, with it being aggression it may rip the family apart before it does. Saying a prayer, and will keep praying you can get Tony into the neuro asap. Hugs [/QUOTE]
