Another Fork in the Road - How Do Children Deal with Brain Injury of a Parent?

It's hard enough for children to navigate their normal lives through early years, preteen years, and their tulmultuous teen years, but when a parent has a brain injury that alters the dynamics of the family, it can turn a child's life upside down.  Join me as I talk with brain injury survivors and their family members.

Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices!
