Has anyone gone to one of these? If so when is the best time to go? I'm 2 yes post divorce but it is still very painful. I think it's effecting my ability to move in with my current boyfriend. There isn't a day that goes by that i dont think of my ex and wonder what he's up to.
I just wonder if more processing with people who have been in that situation might help or be healthy for me. |

I haven't been to one, but it seems like it could be helpful, even 2 yrs post-divorce. You could try a few sessions, and if it is not what you hope for, then don't go anymore. I seem divorce support groups advertised in my area as meeting at churches. I'm not sure about that connection, but that's what I've noticed.
You could also try going to therapy for a while to work on this issue.

Thx- I might try. I am in therapy now but I think my counselor thinks that I fine. She sees me as really put together and having good coping skills. I might look up an meeting and just go. I am worried I might know someone, too

You could try going to a meeting that is outside of your immediate area (if you can get to it easily, of course). You would be less likely then to run into people you know.

A friend of mine went to DivorceCare, which I believe is readily available on the East coast. She raved about how helpful it was. The groups are facilitated by a leader, and they even have DivorceCare4Kids (I think that's what it's called).
She was so enthusiastic about it that I'd really hoped to be able to find one in my area, but unfortunately no luck. You could probably Google it and find a location near you. Good luck!

My boss used to run a DivorceCare class, I plan on attending the next time it's offered. I have heard nothing but good things about it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
