EnableMe | enableme - stroke recovery and support

My first time here so hope I'm doing this right!

My husband had a silent stroke some years ago, we only found out about it last year. About 10 years ago he started to change and I think that is around the time the stroke must have happened. He's recently also has a triple heart bypass.

Over the years his personality has done a complete 180. He is nasty, unkind and unpredictable. Not just to me but to everyone. His anger scare me. I am at the end of my rope now. I'm ready to leave. I have nobody to talk to about this. Drs. just deal with the clinical..I have no answers. I'm really struggling with depression and anxiety now. I would love someone to hear from anyone that has been through the same. Thanks
