- Years ago, I was a member of several groups on dailystrength, most of which were so helpful and life saving to me at that time. I recently joined a couple new groups based on where I am in my life now. I have to say, I'm really not impressed. No...
- My partner has been sober since January after drinking at some level or the other all his adult life. He's always been high functioning with a cushy high paying job and was a fun drunk, so drinking never seemed an issue until it was. Even now, he...
- I'm hoping to keep my introduction as short as possible, but whew. For the last decade+ I have been a single mom of a girl (now 23), a boy (now 21) and an informally "adopted" daughter (now 24) who has a 5-year-old son. I have also been primary...
- My boyfriend is super attentive when it comes to acts of service and gifts. He makes me coffee as soon as he sees me up, brings breakfast in bed on occasion, does most of the cooking and dishes, and surprises me with random little gifts that are...
- It's been about 6 years since I've been on any of these support groups, but back then, they truly saved my life. I am not sure if it's appropriate or allowed to ask this, but over the last several years, I've put myself through school (sociology and...
- I'm new to this group, so, a little background that this is a new relationship (15 months), though he was an acquaintance level friend for many years. A few years ago, he and his wife separated/divorced and not long after my husband and I separated...
- So, after saying I haven't ran into the ex, it happened today. My daughter had a job interview at the mall and asked me to come along for lunch and some shopping after. Saw him from afar, kept walking and he jogged to catch up and hugged me!! ...
- I haven't checked in here in years, I guess. I started my split back in 2009, finally got divorced after a couple years of games. In between, he moved to another state and my life kind of normalized. I guess I am checking back because all these...
- I came across these today and wanted to share....Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you...
- This is the third group since I joined back in 2009. So, I am on year 3 and doing pretty well. I am a single mother, going to school full-time and attempting to run a small dance studio. My life gets a bit chaotic, so I do not get the chance to...
- So, yes, I feel like an idiot. I've been going back and forth with my son's asst. principal for months now. And for the second time or so, I completely lost my cool. I knew I was upset. For that matter, I was emotional this morning just due to...
- There is so much understandably overwhelming pain in this group. I think it brings a lot of hope to everyone to hear something good and hopeful. I am just a couple of weeks away from 5 years since our call to the child abuse hotline. It was my...
- There have been a lot of posts lately about the other side of the family, or others that are in denial, angry or just plain scary wrong lately.After seeing yankee's letter, it gave me a lot of strength to finally confront my ex-MIL with this type of...
- We are on year 5, going on 6, after disclosure of my daughter's sexual abuse by her father. We have all been doing pretty well, but "that" time is upon me. For the first time, she is actually interested in a boy. She has been friends with a few...
- I wanted to say thank you to everyone here who shares their pain and also for those who can finally share a few joys. I have struggled over the last five years with my relationship with my ex-MIL, the kids' contact with her and Yankeeb's letter to...
