Yup, that is my assessment as well. I shake my head thinking about it. Years ago after his injury he could have taken better care of himself. But he denied that he had a problem (after all he was out from the hospital so he must be better, but of course this is not true); he lied to himself, he fooled himself and made some very poor decisions. But after all this time I think he can still turn himself around, he has been alcohol-free for years and goes to AA meetings. But yes bawang, that is a good assessment, almost un-believable, but than again most of us never experience such traumatic brain injuries, and, he was "young and stupid."
