[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 687532, member: 17461"] Finding outside support for ourselves is crucial. Have you considered Al-Anon or Narc-Anon meetings? [URL]http://www.al-anon.org/[/URL] [URL]http://www.nar-anon.org/[/URL] Or NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)? [URL]https://www.nami.org/[/URL] *** Is there an Information and Referral Service in your area? In many states, that phone number is 211. If your state does not have the 211 system, the phone number for United Way in your area should be listed online. There may be an Information and Referral phone number in the blue (Government Section) pages of your phone book. The number would be listed in the Social Services section for the County you are in. You will not need to give your name. Another idea to check into through Social Services might be Respite Care.
