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.
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

Adult Children of Alcoholics
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 meet with each other in a mutually respectful, safe environment and acknowledge our common experiences. We discover how childhood affected us in the past and influences us in the present. We take positive action.
Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents
A discussion group on Yahoo. The group is restricted and self moderated. It is "intended to be a nurturing place for learning, validation, and thoughtful discussion."

Support Groups for All

A Twelve Step group that offers strength and hope for friends and families of problem drinkers. There is likely a meeting near you. Learning the Twelve Steps and following them can make a great deal of difference in your life, no matter whether the issue is with someone who has a drinking problem or some other serious problem that affects them and everyone around them.
BPD Central
BPD Central Randi Kreger, author, advocate, and owner of BPDCentral.com, established Welcome to Oz in 1996 to enable family members with a borderline or narcissistic loved one to support each other and share tips and techniques.
