Kind of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of thing.
Does he have a TBI?

Actually, I don't know for sure if he has a TBI or not because he said he had a brain injury after he jumped in front of the truck and then said he was doing it for me, but he wasn't in the hospital long and didn't seem to have any long-lasting problems or anything.  

I guess I always just hoped that eventually he'd grow up or mean one of the many apologies he's given me for the various things he's done not me.  That's what happens when you grow up in a house where you make the rules and have no one to be able to keep you in check (which makes that judge's bullshit ruling even more of a joke).

No long-lasting problems other than being "unstable as hell'?  Yeah, that's a symptoms of a TBI, most likely from his skull fracture.

Quote:Common Traumatic Brain Injuries

Common injuries include skull factures, contusions, hematomas and hemorrhages.

Skull Fractures
Skull fractures (Figure 1) can affect any part of the cranium, but the convexity or top of the head is most often involved.  Skull fractures at the base of the skull usually require significant force and can also be associated with neurologic or vascular injury.  For example: fractures through the temporal bone which houses the “inner ear” structures, can produce deafness or facial weakness.  Non-displaced fractures are routinely observed.  Depressed or complex open skull fractures, especially those with signs that the lining of the brain has been breached, may require surgery to repair the deformity.

Disinhibition = "unstable as hell"

Aggression + Disinhibition could lead to someone stabbing their brother or attacking a prison guard, for example.
