Support Groups
Close Interracial Relationships
I am a white American woman married to a black Kenyan man for almost 3 1/2 years. I have a 12 year old (white) daughter from my first marriage.
Close Step Families
I remarried three and a half years ago. My husband and I have no children of our own, but I have a 12 year old daughter from my first marriage. My husband and daughter get along, but still seem to feel a bit uncomfortable around each other. I think the gender difference is a big factor.
Open Brain Injury
I work for a non-profit organization teaching vocational skills to individuals who have survived traumatic brain injuries. I also moderate a TBI survivor support group every week. I am always looking for ways to better serve my clients and address the issues that are important to them.
Open Breakups & Divorce
I have been happily divorced from my first husband for about 5 years after a three year separation. We have managed to have a very healthy and amicable relationship for our daughter's sake. Mutual acquanitances think it's unnatural. LOL! I am now happily remarried for over 3 years.
Open Meniere's Disease
I have a history of hearing loss in my family. My grandmother has worn hearing aids for decades. My father just had surgery to correct his hearing loss. I fear I am next. There is a constant ringing and whooshing in my ears and I find myself asking people to repeat themselves very often. My father was a drummer in a rock band, and I inherited his love of loud music. I'm not sure how much of my hearing loss is hereditary and how much is from not using ear protection.
Open Alcoholism
I have two people dear to me who are alcoholics. One admits his problem, but only to me, and lives in another state, so I do the best I can to support him from a long distance. The other does not admit his problem, and I am at a loss as to how to help him.
Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)
I have a daughter who will be thirteen in February. Fortunately, she is a well rounded kid despite my divorce from her father when she was 4 and my remarriage three years ago. I have been working on helping her be more responsible and motivated, especially when it comes to around the house. I also encourage her to be more outgoing and confident in herself, because she can be very shy, and I fear she will appear conceited.
Open Obesity
When I was pregnant with my daughter (almost 13 years ago) I gained 80 pounds. I have never been able to lose it and have see-sawed from size 14 to 20 over the years. I am at a point in my life when I know this can cause serious health problems if I don't take action.
