Title: LBS Support Meetings?
Post by: UnconditionalLove on March 04, 2015, 02:16:09 PM

Would you attend a support meeting for LBS if you had one in your area?  I just spoke to a pastor who is open to me starting a LBS group within a Freedom group night we are starting. I wanted to see if you all thought it was a good idea. It would be faith based.

I wanted to do this 1st because when my H left and everyone said you have to get out I didn't have anywhere to go.  I thought this would be a start to getting LBS's out of the house.

Tell me what you think!

Well, I'm in Georgia! LOL! But, if you all want to start one in your area I can help you with material.  Wouldn't it be cool to have this available through the U.S or anywhere really.

LOL! A permenant move to go to a LBS support.  I can see it now, someone comes up to you and says, so what brings you to GA?  Well, you see my W is in MLC and GA was the closes support group I could find. LOLOLOL

I'm in Delaware and I'd love to meet. I've never seen a divorce group or anything in my area. Maybe divorce isn't so common afterall.  IDK. I feel very alone with no family here and not much family period. Can't lean on my teenagers. They are distressed enough by all that has and is happening. Let me know if there is an East Coast meet up!

  I looked for such a group in my area shortly after BD-no such thing exists.  There are a lot of divorce support groups, but none specifically geared towards our unique situation.  Also, the d support groups in my area you have to sign up for a couple months in advance.  Sorry, I needed support RIGHT THEN.  Thank God for HS.

  Yes, I think this is a great idea.
