“I feel the parents on these meetings can relate better than any other interpersonal interaction I have.”
“These meetings are life changing, in terms of how I view myself, my relationships and the world.”
“Having others share their experience deepens my own…as a result of these meetings my relationship with my son has changed.”
“I must admit I am not sure I would be where I am in this journey without these meetings. I cannot say enough…about what it has done for me.”
“In these meetings I also learned more about myself and found a contentment that was allusive for so many years..”
“OPLM groups bring me a sense of connection and help normalize my situation, bolstering my approach to my daily life.”
Stories
Our stories are the real deal — raw, painful and, sometimes, funny… but they’re always insightful and healing. Read and watch stories of other parents like you. And when you’re ready, submit your own.
