Question
hi my boyfriend is 25 a healthy guy with a pretty good normal life. But he has had a brain tumor removed this was about 3-4 years ago. He is a very angry person in everyway you say one word and its a fight he cant let himself be happy at all and hates the world i try to support him in anyway but don't know what to do can you tell me is there anything i can do? and is this normal so long after or does he use it as an excuse thanks hope you can give me some insight

Answer
Since I do not know what kind of tumour he had, how big it was, where in (or on) his brain it exactly was located etc it is impossible to give you an exact and precise answer. I'm also unfamiliar with how he was BEFORE his tumour surgery so I can not even backtrack. However it is at least possible that this has to do with his tumour and/or surgery. It is even probable. But I'm not sure. If it has it is probably chronic and unchangeable. You will have to draw your own conclusions from that.
