Announcing My New Community Website With Free Forums!
In response to the many e-mails I receive requesting a free place for open discussions I have created a free forum website. The Sisterhood Of Support Community offers various groups with open forums where women can come and access resources and share their life experiences. A place where you can just come to talk.
You will be able to complete your profile, e-mail and connect with other members and share stories, opinions, advice, photos, ask questions and become a part of the Sisterhood Community.
Groups include Divorce, Sex Addiction, Domestic Abuse, Personal Growth, Health and Employment. More groups will be added as needed. Each group has it’s own free forum.
Since this is a brand new site it will take a while to build up the membership but I will step in often to keep the conversations going and to add new resources.
Because this is a public and open site if you wish some anonymity be sure to choose an appropriate user name and avatar.
So, come on over, take a look and join our little Community.

A New Blog Post On The Sisterhood For Partners of Sex Addicts
Think back when you first got married (maybe before kids and mortgages). If someone had asked you the question “what would you do if he cheated on you?”, I bet that 99.9% of us would have answered without hesitation “I’d kill him then leave him”. And we would have answered that way because we never believed for one second that he would actually cheat! We did not marry men that we thought were cheaters.
