  • I'm so sorry.
    It is normal for a person to experience personality changes, due to the nature of their stroke. The stroke most likely changed his brain chemistry and the damage likely attacked the parts of his brain that make-up his personality and sense of judgement. It's not really him saying those horrible things, it is the brain damage.

    It is normal for this to happen and it is usually the most painful part of having a stroke for everyone - dealing with what the stroke victim can become after such brain damage.

      • Honestly my dad had a stroke too & I hate him
        I'm the one who takes care of him because my parents are divorced
        & he had no one.
        I used to look up to him & wanted to be like him & now I hate him he puts me in embarrass in front of people & pees all over the house.& I tell him that he's not my dad & that he's a retard

        • Honestly i feel like your in my shoes, ill tell you this now, i know its alot to take on but you cant have that energy towards him it will only ruin your guys relationship, i had those feelings for my dad for the longest time afteri posted this message, i still do today even but iv learned to control them, in your position its simply best to just do the best job you can, iv thought about it countless times, what must it be like to be stuck in that body, that person used to be the one idol i looked up to and he was taken from me (as i said it befor) but i learned, he is still in there he is just STUCK, acting the way you are must make him feel so horrible and the way you treat him, please dont tell me you actualy called him that, that man is still your #1 dad, best freind, hero or even the guy you look up to the most, sure he might have changed abit, it is a fact of life....shit happens to say the least but you need to learn to deal with it maturly and provide your dad a place to recover, my parents are divorced now aswell, i live with my freind, brother and dad of course, it may be so hard now but i will tell you another thing, it also builds character and will help you further in life, not to brag but without post secondary education im titled twice both are for ticketed trades jobs, after 2 years and about 11 months i have grown and matured enough to be the man that my dad raised, sure i can be hot headed at times but iv learned to look at the whole situation and chech everyones perspective, how do you think your dad feels stuck in there ? I hope i dont come across mean or anything but, you asked a question and i think thats the best answer i can come up with

      • It's perfectly normal, especially if his personality has changed so drastically. Don't take what he says personally. He can't help the way he acts.
