Stroke after 4 years and three months

May 2010 was the day when I had my stroke and did not know it until it was too late. I picked two of my daughters up after work from the babysitter and the school. During the time I drove I became confused but luckily I drove us home to the driveway. I was looking at the stick shift and didn't know what it was for, I thought the wiper was the stick shift and realized the wipers turning rapidly. My daughter kept asking if I was alright, but I failed to answer the whole time. I felt like I was in a pink colored bubble. Anyway, my main concern is my behavior. I am beginning to see how I treat to my wife and my daughters. My daughters tell me that I am angry and I don't smile at all. I try really hard to be normal, but I end up that same angry guy without knowing it. At times my mood is like a wave lined up to hit the shore, making that crashing tumbling noise. There is more to my problems, but I'm working on it. I'm wishing to change back to my old self.
