Hi,
My name is Dan. I'm 28 years of age & 2 years ago I had an aneurysm due to a birth defect which caused a stroke from the brain swelling because it was under too much stress from the aneurysm. At that time I had a wife & a little boy aged 2.
After about 3 months from returning home from the hospital, my wife filed for divorce. We were married 5 years before I got sick & I thought we were madly in love.
She never cheated on me. (She just took our son & new daughter we had 2 months before she left) to live at her parents.
Trying to get my brain to somewhat recover & deal with divorce was really hard. I've since then sold our house & moved in with my parents. When she left, I stayed in our home. It was so hard to go to work everyday, come home clean, & cook for myself. I was WAY to tired. & it's a lot easier now at my parents house!
I sleep 10-14 hours every night. Do you?
I heard divorce is quite common after stroke. How did it effect you?
I figured this topic would fit best in the young stroke survivor section
