Testimonials

"Before I found this group, I thought I was the only person who had ever gotten divorced. Of course, I knew that wasn't a fact. But it felt that way. And then I joined this group and found the most kind, empathetic, understanding people. And I knew then that I wasn't alone. And I knew then that I had a new family."

"I’ve been a member for 6 years now. I started while going through a painful divorce. The support I received along with the social aspect was incredibly helpful getting me to become the person I am today. I’ve made some great new friends there which isn’t easy later in life. I am truly grateful for this group and highly recommend it."

"Enduring a harrowing divorce during the incredible isolation of Covid, was a devastating and often unbearable experience for me. I sought help and/or comfort from multiple sources, but a support group was just not something I would have considered. Then by sheer luck of attending a virtual work event, someone from NJ, who happened to be a member of this group, went out of her way to reach out to me and suggest I join. I did. The first roundtable I attended was life changing, for so many reasons: One of the men I met that day has become a treasured and dear friend, the leaders gave me their numbers and encouraged me to reach out when I needed them (which I did… often at times, and they were always there), and I had regular access to open ears, heartening words, and sympathetic hearts. I truly do not know how I would have survived the first two years without this group, its leaders, and S, S, & R in particular. My appreciation is heartfelt and endless."
