Your organizer - Ely
Raised by my narcissistic mother who only cared about grades, prestige, money, and looks, I spent my whole life trying to make myself worthy of the "investment" my parents spent on me until I discovered narcissism. Since then, I fought a hard battle going no contact with my narcissistic mother and discovering who I am independent of her.

Please be advised we require your camera to be on. You may turn it off if you need to step away/etc, but, for the comfort and safety of our group members, we need to see that you’re a real person and experience your body language.
Please take the time to review these points before joining:

1. I am not a mental health counselor, licensed counselor, doctor, or coordinator. I am simply someone who has had a similar experience to the people who meet in these groups. No advice or suggestions in here are to be taken as medical advice. Please see your physician before changing any medication routines, or before making any large life changing decisions. You may discuss coping mechanisms you have learned in a therapy group, or discuss medications that work for you, but be advised this is not medical advice, nor is anything in this group intended to be used for the purpose of a diagnosis or for treatment. Please consult a physician or a mental health counselor. This group is not a therapy group, it is a support group. If you are in dire need of help, suicidal, or in an unsafe situation, please contact your local police or helpline ASAP.
2. I am not an attorney. Nothing said or discussed by me, or anyone else in this group is to be construed as legal advice. We may guide you towards helpful legal resources, but we are not giving you legal advice. Do not take any advice pertaining to law enforcement, courts, any sort of restraining order, attorney references, legal resources, suggestions, etc. as true legal advice. It is simply a suggestion for you to have for your own personal use to make your own personal judgment as what is best for you and your situation.
3. Please remember that not everyone’s experiences are your own. Every one deals with things in different ways, every one copes in different ways, every one reacts in different ways, and every one finds solutions in different ways. Be polite to your group mates, please.
4. Solicitation is not allowed. We offer free resources from time to time. Members love posting informational videos regarding the topics discussed during our meetings and that is absolutely wonderful, we love sharing knowledge! But we will not entertain sales pitches for MLM products, classes, tools, therapy groups, medication, pamphlets, booklets, or any sort of products.
5. There will likely be mentions of all sorts of abuses and triggering topics. We will handle them with as much sensitivity as possible, but cannot control what other group mates say.
6. We encourage everyone to chat and talk and make friends outside the group if you feel comfortable, we love making new friends and broadening our support group! If you feel like you’ve made a connection with a group mate, please message me and I will approach them about exchanging contact information. We do not take kindly to messaging other members trying to push beliefs or information down their throats.
