[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 562008, member: 14557"] I too have had difficult time finding a support group. One of the reasons is, that our culture is much less therapy/support group inclined than yours, so there just are less groups. And I'm even living near bigger city so that shouldn't be a problem. There are some al anon groups but only few and they are either for kids of alcoholics (adult or teen) or mainly spouses. I did find two non-12 steps group for parents of problematic kids but I was in totally wrong place there. Others had kids with much more severe issues and lower functioning and I felt really a whiner going there with my problems with in some ways highly functioning kid. To be honest I feel like that also here at times. Especially now that my difficult child is doing fairly well it feels like I'm whining about very minuscule things to people who are in much tougher place. Anonymity has also been a big problem for me. My difficult child's problems have a public facet on it so confidentiality is a real issue. We are also part of smallish community and I really don't need everyone knowing our family things so that has made some avenues of support impossible. [/QUOTE]
