Parents For Grown Ups

Had a f*cked up childhood… or ever wanted to be the adult you needed as a child? Join the club.

If you grew up without consistent support, emotional safety, or reliable adults — you’re not broken.
And if you’ve ever felt a pull to be a steady, caring presence for someone else — even without having kids of your own — you belong here too.

Parents for Grown-Ups is a community for:

-Adults who grew up without what they needed
-Adults who want to be the kind of parent figure, mentor, or guide
they wish they’d had
-And the many people who are both

What This Group Is:

This Meetup is a real-life community space where adults can:

Connect with others who understand what it’s like to grow up under-supported

Participate in guided healing conversations

Build chosen family and meaningful relationships

Learn how to both receive support and offer it—with boundaries and care

We focus on belonging first, not labels.

Our Meetups

We host two types of weekly gatherings:

🟡 Healing & Processing Circles
Facilitated, supportive conversations for adults unpacking childhood neglect, foster care experiences, estrangement, or emotional absence.
This is not clinical therapy—but it is structured, contained, and respectful.

🟢 Connection & Resource Meetups
Lighter, community-based gatherings focused on connection, joy, and practical support.
Think: conversation, shared meals, guest speakers, life skills, laughter, and showing up as real humans.

You can attend one or both. No pressure.

Who This Is For

Adults who grew up without emotional support, stable parenting, or safety

Foster alumni, estranged adults, and those raised in single-parent or neglectful homes

LGBTQ+ adults seeking chosen family

Adults who want to be mentors, guides, or steady presences—without saviorism

Anyone who believes it’s never too late to be supported

What This Is NOT

-Not a dating group
-Not a vent-only space
-Not a place for fixing or rescuing
-Not a replacement for therapy

This is a community.

Group Values

-Respect and confidentiality
-No hierarchy: no “broken people” vs. “helpers”
-Consent, boundaries, and emotional safety
-Come as you are. Participate at your own pace.

If this made you feel seen—even a little—that’s enough.

You don’t have to do adulthood alone anymore.
