inappropriate things

Its seems that since my brain injury I say many more inappropriate things. All sorts of things just come out of my mouth. This one time I told people something that happened with my husband involving that "special time." I won't repeat it now because my husband told me it was kind of inappropriate. Its always completely honest, these things I say. I've always been of the mindset that people never say "something they don't mean." You ALWAYS mean it, you just don't mean to say it. Like if I were to tell a certain teacher that they are stupid, obviously I think they're stupid, but if I wanted to use tact and get a good grade I wouldn't say it. At least when you're talking to me you know you'll get the honest truth, I just can't guarantee you'll like it.

My husband had a frontal lobe injury in 2005 and we joke that it broke his "appropriateness filter".

He has apologized after saying some things that sounded harsher than he intended, but we've learned to take it in stride. Our nine-year-old daughter has described it to people as her daddy now says what he feels without thinking about the nicest way to say it first.
