Walking with my Son for 8 years!

My son Lonnie was in a auto accident in 2009 he suffered a TBI was in coma for 12 hours. He was released with us being informed to watch for mood and personality changes etc… That’s it 2 days in hospital. Well as the months passed Lonnie was not our Lonnie. He would have these episodes that’s what I named them. Outbursts of emotions. It could be crying with no explanation, fear something was going to happen to him, frustration because he couldn’t function in college anymore. About 6 months after his accident he called me from college completely distraught and wanted to come home. I drove 600 miles to get him the following day. When he got home he was so depressed and not our Lonnie. He went to work with the family his dad worked for for a bit. He stopped working and fell into a Depression. He started using drugs/alcohol to self medicate. Then one horrible night he came upstairs from his room completely out It. Started tearing up the house Fighting his dad. We took him to the ER thinking he was on drugs. He was not on any drugs. It took enough sedition to put down horse to calm him down and stop his mind. He was taken to a mental hospital to be held for 72 hours. They put him on medication that made him practically drool the first day. Then changed him to a milder one saying he was scitsofrinic (sp). He was released on the 4th day. Counseling revealed it wasn’t that and he stopped meds. He still wouldn’t admit he had a brain injury. Nobody would listen to me. He refused to get help. Always said he would go, but wouldn’t follow up. That was the beginning of many scary episodes and many run ins with the law. Then there was light at the end of the tunnel. He had finally started moving forward holding a job and getting himself out of all the trouble he had gotten into. He was almost clear only had month to go. But sadly he took his life January 29,2017. He had completely excepted he had a TBI and then the episodes came rapidly and continually for 3 months.
