Does anyone know a support group in the Marysville-Everett, Washington area? I urgently need to find one for my niece. She needs people close to home, to talk to.

Obviously I'm not in a position to help, but just a note to say I hope it goes well with your neice.
I know what it's like to wish that relatives see the truth about "the troof", and it can be a heartache. So let's hope for the best.
Cheers,
Ozzie
Celtic sends healing and best wishes her way too, wish her all the best please would you?
Peace

Too bad this is not the best place for her right now. There are times when this can be a very supportive place for her to visit. At least you can pass on the nice thoughts from Ozzie and Celtic.
This board is going insane. Reminds me of my five year old son. Every few weeks he goes berzerk too.
Am I the only one who thinks everyone should sit down and have a drink...or something

Mulan - try calling Compass Health in Everett. They should be able to connect you with all kinds of support groups from Snohomish County clear to the Canadian border, including Marysville. Best wishes - no one should feel they are alone!

Mulan,
There are a few posters who have teen daughters, perhaps if an email exchange could be initiated? I don't know just a thought, I don't know how old your niece is. I wish I had the time I would not mind buddying up and chatting with her in PM. I hope the best for her.
Princess,
LOL My son, every night goes beserk. It is like he can walk on the ceiling and across water with no intervention. That is when I know he is so wired and in actuality is overtired. I noticed when I am here and overreact to situations then I have stayed here to long and need a break. I wish he only went off every 5 weeks lol
As far as this place being supportive, I think it is. I have recieved mucho support here, and even continue with email exchanges with those who do not post that much. It could be a stepping stone to finding friends. Maybe one night you could introduce her here and maybe bring her in chat. Though we may bicker, fight and joke around, we really are a great bunch of people who know how it feels to be burned. As far as having a drink...MMMM Ozzie's shiraz sounds so tempting, I can't wait to have a sip of something stronger than apple juice

G'day ladies,
Princess reckons this place went insane. I'm glad I was having a mellow time with a red since yesterday! Naah, just busy, really.
Glad I missed the fight in the kitchen. I raised daughters and i found it best to keep outa the kitchen, Mrs Ozzie and little ozzies in the kitchen was a great place to avoid!
Anyway, hope it's all quiet again and we can get back to thinking about how to help your neice. Any news?
Cheers,
Ozzie
mulan,
the county mental health dept usually knows about all kinds of groups.
Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Thanks everyone.
My niece is the daughter of my husband's eldest brother (who was 16 years older than he is) so.............
she is 45, and a teen group isn't the answer. I guess I should have said that. Her therapist suggested she get involved in one, and I believe she had some to direct her towards. She just asked if I knew of any.
She would love to come to this board, but can't do it at work, and at home, they don't have internet. That may change though. Her husband is blaming everything on us, which isn't the case. The woman had been researching for a long time, before she asked to talk to us, 5 years ago. It has taken her all this time, to be able to actually walk out.
