Hello, Tara I am aware that this thread is old, but it is also the reason that I joined this community. I'm interested to see how things turned out. She has touched me physically twice in the past week while we are still in the same predicament with my sister-in-law. Please let me know what you ended up doing, how your sister is doing these days, and any advise you could have for me.

I need some help or advise please. My sister has a severe traumatic brain injury. She was in a near fatal car accident in 2003. Just recently she has been acting out of control. She is showing no respect to me or my mother. Calling us filthy names, screaming, etc. We will be having a normal conversation with her and if she hears something she doesn't like or something doesn't go her way she snaps into a fit of rage. Last night we had another "episode" and this time she became violent and physically hit me. I don't know what to do anymore and I don't know how to help her. You can't talk about it after the "episode" happens or it refuels the fire and we start all over again. We usually ignore the outburst when it happens or casually change the subject to get her mind off of what has made her upset but it is no longer working and I am at a loss. If anyone has any advise or help or knows a group or doctor in cincinnati ohio that would be great. Thank you for listening to me.

Here are two qoutes from Henry Ford that have become my personal Mantra and have shaped the way I live my life, both before and after injury."If you think you can or cannot do a thing, you are correct.""I am looking for a group of [people] who have an infinite ability to not know what cannot be done."Randy

I came across this quote and had to share it with you.
"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
--Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh (A.A. Milne)
That pretty much sums it up. Never underestimate or doubt yourselves.
