really looking forward to this

its something that ive not really thought about,if somebody has a accident and they are physically disabled you can see that but brain damage you dont see

yes poor Earls mum,must be devastating

i felt sorry for the man with the 2 little boys. His wife had clearly changed so much.

I don't think I would have her back at home.

I'm watching, finding it very sad

so sad,makes you count your blessings

I agree chipped. I think she was upsetting the eldest child. What a shame.

I missed what had happened to Natalie - how did she get her injury?

The mum of the two boys fell from a horse

Spotted, she tried to take her own life with an overdose of insulin and suffered brain damage. So very sad.

Sorry, that's the Welsh lady I'm talking about. Got the names muddled.

Oh, thanks both. V v sad.

I'm watching it about 20 minutes behind so haven't seen her yet.

yes I dont think it's good for those boys to have their Mum at home.

The mum looks nothing like how she used to. So sad for the whole family including her parents.

And obviously her personality is completely different I meant to say

yes she looks like a different person.

i dont think those living arrangments are going to last

so sad for everybody

It's awful having just enough awareness to know you're a burden, but to not be able to be different.

We knew someone who had a fall when skiing - wife of a friend of dh's. She suffered a head injury and it changed her massively. Her personality changed overnight. She ended up leaving him and starting a new relationship/life without him. Their children were older teens but it was very hard on all of them. Took him a long time to get back on track too.

All very sad, this kind of thing.

Amanda's story was so heartbreaking. I can't see how that can continue, that poor family :(

Oh gosh just watched the bit where she's baking cakes for her sons. The husband looks shattered and stressed right out.

it looks so so difficult for all of them. Those poor boys.

Poor Amanda and poor Rob, such an achingly sad situation for both of them.

Hit a nerve. I could sympathise with how upsetting it is if your person is really different. It's not the same but my OH has bad mental health stuff and didn't used to and he's changed tons so I got it. I sympathised with the man when he said it wasn't like a husband and wife relationship and she'd most her squidgy side that also reminded me of OH. I can see why people say hidden disabilities are hard
