Support Groups for Parents

You're Not Alone: Estranged Parents of Adult Children
For all who have suffered the loss of a child to the pain of estrangement.
Stop Walking on Eggshells for Parents
Randi Kreger, author of "Stop Walking on Eggshells" which is about how to cope with someone in your life who has borderline personality disorder. She has written a new book: "Stop Walking on Eggshells for Parents".
Parents Who Walk Away
A group for parents of estranged adult children who are tired of waiting for them to grow up/get real. Comprised of strong, wise survivors, this group is made up of parents who either have walked away or are considering walking away from the disrespectful actions of their abusive adult children. Straight talk, tough stances and the free exchange of ideas/opinions can be found here. Everyone is Welcome! (Note: This is the new link to PWWA which formerly was hosted on Daily Strength.)
Parents of Estranged Adult Children
When Adult Children are Estranged: Support and Information
For Parents Estranged From Their Adult Children (When The Talking Stops)
This Group is aimed at Parents & Grandparents who have been Estranged, Deserted or Abandoned by their Adult Children. This is a closed Facebook Group with almost 3,500 members. New members may ask to join or be invited by a member.
Estranged Stories
A place principally for parents experiencing family estrangement to find support, hopefully peace, and some understanding. Currently has over 6,000 members.
Christian Parents of Estranged Adult Children
Estrangement makes it difficult to talk about with family, friends, neighbors and church members. Christians are NOT immune to broken families. Talk about your experiences with those who know how you feel and get positive support through your Christian faith. (Note: This group is the same one that had been hosted on the Daily Strength site. When DS made its recent changes, this group and others moved off of DS. This link will take you to the current location of the group.)

Support Groups for Adult Kids

Welcome to ACA. Adult Children of Alcoholics is an anonymous Twelve Step program of women and men who grew up in an alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional homes.

We take positive action.
