“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.
Blogs
This Christmas and Valentines turned out to be very special to me this year. My son came home to spend Christmas with us before he began his very first semester at the University of Arizona. He had bought us all gifts, without any prompting from me, with his own money.
Lately I have been thinking a lot about the idea of what it means to feel safe and protected. This is an area that I have always been curious about since I was a child. As a child I never wanted to be alone.
When I decided in November of 2022 that I would not be contemplating resolutions for the New Year, I found some curiosity about resolution.
