Susan will be your moderator for the “Old Lady Posse” Partner Drop-In support group. This group is intended for WOMEN ONLY who are of a certain age and have longer term relationships and looking for support and accountability. This is not a 12-step group or therapy; it is a place to share struggles or triumphs, to give and receive support, and to just not be alone. We want this to be a safe place for all who identify as being a betrayed partner.
This group is not recorded but does allow you to turn on your video camera so you can see and be seen by others in the group. You have the option of turning off your camera to remain more anonymous if you so choose. Either way, we ask that you keep your microphone muted until you wish to speak so that any background noise is not disruptive to the group.
In these sessions, your image and username are visible to the moderator and other participants. This is because we want you to interact with one another and build supportive, recovery-focused relationships. Drop-In Discussion Groups are not recorded.
