If you don't mind................

Where is everyone located ?? I think it would be so nice if the ones that live close by could meet or get together every once in a while--just for some extra support and it would sure be cool to put a face with a name, expecially since I "FEEL" like I know all of you so well just from reading and posting.
I am in Chicago suburb.

Let's get together!

There are a fair few of us here in the Toronto area, what do you say? I really need the support! Let's find a nice shady patio somewhere and share.

Once you get your first meeting scheduled, let me know (although, I'll probably read it here as it gets scheduled). I am going to create a list of Chapter Cities that will be hosting meetings and list the Group Leaders name. I'm so glad you can take the lead for Toronto. Thanks!!!

Hey YOU Canadians

Montreal. Anyone close to me? would be nice to get together. Wouldn't it be funny (NOT actually HA) to find we know the same Narcissist/Psychopath? Mine used to keep things going on with gals in other cities, like Toronto, Ontario, etc. hmmmm Contact Lisa for my email info if you would like to get a little group together or get in touch. Any other fellow Narc Survivors in Canada like me, Belinda, chickadee999 , Staying strong78, and Miss Dior ? Let's get in touch! Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate!

Great idea!

This sounds wonderful! I'm almost exactly in between Montreal and Toronto, in Smiths Falls, Ontario. 'Looking forward to hearing more on this!

Brooklyn, NY

LOL @ "After lurking here for a year and half..." I made my first couple of posts today actually. I thought I was the only one a little gun shy;) I'm from Brooklyn, NY though. Anyone from the NYC area? I would love it if there are any NYC peeps out there:)

Something to look forward to...

I am so looking forward to actually meeting with someone who "gets it." This disorder does not seem to be widely recognised. I can't even remember how I found this site, but I know I was doing research into his addictions/dysfunction, as was my tendency, and when I got here and read some posts, the light went on! Unfortunately, I was still in my "helper" (servant) role and I told him about this condition that I thought he might be suffering from. He was all ears as I described the symptoms and he said they certainly fit...then I told him the name of the disorder. He was not flattered!

I'm sure he wasn't flattered, but the important thing is that you "get it" now. We're so glad you found us here! I hope you have broken free from him or are on the path towards doing so. xoxo

The Girlfriend

Awesome, thanks for taking the lead on this, Girlfriend! Is it ok if I put you down as the group leader for the Montreal Chapter then? I'll list myself as the group leader for Chicago. I'm still working on dates for those of you in chi-town and will have some options shortly. It will be in August. How 'bout the UK? Did you guys set a date or identify a group leader? I can't wait to get these groups started!

Next Steps

Awesome, I love it that there's so much interest. It sounds like we have a few cities with enough people to get groups started relatively soon. Chicago Chapter - Me London Chapter - TBD New York - TBD Please e-mail me if you're interested in being the group leader for any of the other City Chapters.

Any city that's interested, let me know!

I was so tired last night when posting about this that I want to be sure I didn't imply we should only focus on Chicago, London and NY as cities who are ready to start a group. I just meant, it sounds like we might have enough people in those cities to hold a meeting right now. Any city or town, that is interested, please let me know. I will coordinate. As far as Chicago, I checked on the meeting space in my condo building and I think it would be a good spot to hold meetings. I live downtown near the Metra train stations, which will make it easy for people coming in from the suburbs. There's a fee for renting the space, but it's less than what I was paying Barbara every month to moderate the board so I can swing it and think the convenience is worth the cost. I'm going to brainstorm the best way to coordinate these meetings. Maybe on FB or Meetup.com. I'll be back with more details once I figure it out.

Hello Janet

Never been to the U.S. let alone CA! God I need to get out more. But it's nice to see and feel that we are not alone with our bad experiences. This site has helped me immensely. The power of the internet! Peace and much love to you too.
