[QUOTE="judi, post: 33649, member: 148"] I live in a rural area that has one FA group. husband and I went a few times about 6 years ago (our son was then 16 or 17). We cried all the way home! The parents there were extremely welcoming and nonjudgemental. However, in this particular group, their difficult child's were in their late 20's and 30's. husband and I were devastated that we might be living like this our whole lives. I did sincerely believe they are very nice and helpful - just that each group is different. Also, and I'll be blunt - my husband and I are professionals well known in the community with a very unusual (read only one in town) last name. It was embarassing to see people whom we knew in other contexts. Now that my son is almost 22 I do realize this is a life-long thing. I don't think its going to get better...lol...maybe husband and I would fit in now! [/QUOTE]
