I have been a member of another online forum for four years. I made some good friends there but the bullying has become so bad that I decided I needed to find a different group. I am hoping this one will be more supportive. I am a mom and a stepmother. My stepchild is a teenager and has been alienated by his mother. We do not see him very often. Even though we are disengaged for the most part, I still need support for my mental and emotional state.
