Re: New to the group


Phil,

Sadly I haven't even found one for myself. I will tell you an excellent
book (and at the end they have some contacts for support groups). The
book is called "survivors and partners" by Paul A Hansen and I would
classify this as a must read. It helped give me a new perspective that
I'm not alone and that I need to expect some of the feelings I have if I
choose to stay with my wife through this chapter. Good luck finding
something that provides the format you're in search of. Sorry I
couldn't help more.

Steve
