Thank you for the information. My girlfriend has gone to two meetings so far. One open with her Mom and the other closed. The women in the meetings took her under their wing wanting to help and provided their telephone numbers if she ever needs to talk. It seems that she is attacking the problem and I am very proud of her. Its really hard to heal the wounds of what have happened emotionally and carry on but I guess that takes time. She wants to go to all the meetings she can, she was talking about potentially 4 a week. She I guess used to go to these meetings but I had no idea. I would like to go to a meeting or a few I think to have a better understanding of the disease even though I grew up with it around me.
