This is a support group for those who have survived an abusive relationship with a parent or caretaker and need support. Grab a coffee or a glass of wine and feel welcome to share your experience, this is an informal, supportive place to vent and talk. **THIS EVENT IS FOR ESTABLISHED MEMBERS ONLY. YOU MUST HAVE ATTENDED A FIRST TIMERS MEETING PRIOR TO SIGNING UP FOR THIS GROUP.** Maximum attendance of 20 people so everyone has a chance to share. Video MUST be on so everyone can feel comfortable. Meeting will open with a short introduction of everyone and then will open to sharing. It's a safe, supportive environment and I look forward to meeting all of you again - Please note that registration at a First Timers event must occur before you register for this event. A great book to start on this issue that I would highly recommend (even if you're a male or the narcissist in your life is your father) is Dr. Karyl McBride's "Will I Ever Be Good Enough: Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers" and much of my moderation of this group will be based on that book. YOUR ORGANIZER: I always knew there was something wrong with my mother and as a result, felt that there was something wrong with me as well. In 2012, I stumbled upon a Dr. Phil episode quite accidentally and figured it out. My mother was and is a narcissist. What was wrong with me took a lot longer to figure out but over time, I have pieced together that my tendency to over book myself, my contact need to overachieve educationally, financially and socially, my near obsessive need to organize and my co-dependency is all tied into how I was raised. I'm a 40 something attorney trying to heal from my childhood and am just as likely to share in this group as any other support member. ZOOM LINKS WILL BE MAILED THE MORNING OF THE EVENT.

To improve your speaking, thinking and listening skills, come to Sheridan Park Toastmasters Club which was established in 1974. We are a group of people who love to improve our public speaking skills, impromptu speaking skills, and leadership skills while having fun.

We usually have 10-15 people at our meetings and not everyone indicates attendance on meetup.com as we promote on multiple platforms (in other words our attendance is not what you will see on meetup.com. Attend as our guest anytime and observe how we learn to communicate more effectively in a fun-filled and supportive environment. Join our club and we'll have you speaking comfortably in no time! We are a truly a "community based" club. We offer a light hearted and nurturing learning environment. We are a vibrant club open to all people- come meet us.
