Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Impairment to memory perception

Fri, 07/08/2016 - 18:09
My husband has RightTLE and had a hippocampectomy in 1999. He continues to have Complex Partial seizures with break through Generalized and he is still on a couple AntiEpileptic meds. He has recently concluded that our marriage has been awful for the 18 years and that I have emotionally abused him and our children. I am curious if anyone else has experience with spouse's perception and remembering things but at an exaggerated level of intensity? He is not aggressive himself but definitely experienced a totally different personality because of seizures, surgery, medications, and depression.
