I would go home and cry.So I stopped going, and had not seen the shell for two years when it finally stopped working completely.I was relieved.
How old were you?
I had an uncle like that (well similar); he was the nicest man you could ever meet (kind, good humoured. loving) but he had a stroke and became vicious, vindictive and very nasty to his wife ... quite clearly a very different personality to his former one Now, if the soul (as has been claimed) is the seat of personality & emotion, I would like to know which personality he now has and why.
