Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. My mom tripped and fell and hit her face in July; not knocked unconscious, but broke her nose and some teeth. The resulting concussion has resulted in some definite cognitive issues - she's improving but I'm afraid this may have tipped her over into incipient Alzheimer's - I'm doing everything possible to help her brain heal but it's slow progress. There's a book coming out later this week called The End of Alzheimer's by Bredesen - the research protocol that they are using in early dementia would also be beneficial for brain injury recovery. (Oddly enough, I saw two brain injury patients this morning - one is a teenage patient of mine who sustained a serious traumatic brain injury with skull fracture and bleed at the beginning of July, and had a long and complicated hospital course. But he looks fantastic now! I'm so relieved.

Lolol - I love this! I'm pretty sure you've moved way beyond you ex - he'd have to work hard for YEARS to come close to being a person you would want to date. Fingers crossed that he gains enough emotional sobriety to start functioning a little bit as a father, but keep your expectations very very low. And I agree with the boundaries discussed above - if he comes to town, he stays at a hotel, and out of your peronal space as much as possible. (BTW, the GALL to feel he has the right to be upset seeing your dating app!!! They all really do think we're just supposed to sit frozen in time.)
