Would other people be interested in a group just for family members? (I would want one just for siblings specifically but that probably isn't realistic at this point.)

I'm sorry, but I don't see any reason for it. Then again, I'm a little confused as to what you're suggesting. Do you mean a group for our ("our" being we members of this site) relatives and families to chat about living with us, what it's like, how to deal with us? They already can do that without us creating a new group. Besides, nobody I know would be interested. My therapy has always been that I'm supposed to be fixed and no one else has anything wrong with them.

What's I'm suggesting is a group just for family members. As both a "consumer" and family member I can say such forums are not just about talking about the "ill" person (nor do I define treatment as merely figuring out who's got something "wrong" with them and needs to be "fixed" [although that's very much how things work in my family of origin].)

Thanks (I also just noticed the Caregivers Forum but technically that might be a little different from what I'm looking for.)
