"Are this bunch of people weirdos?" I guess this question may pop into many's mind when you read a lot of what is posted...
"Will joining them be any good? How the hell is talk to a bunch of strangers gonna help me with what I'm going through?" is another that comes to mind...
I think these two are the most common questions that you may have when you stand at the doorway before making the decision to join this group...
Well.. the answers to the 2 questions are:
NO... they are not wackos... just a bunch of people experiencing a bad patch in life who has taken the courage to step into the light.. and now who bask in the warm rays of care, support, concern that others in the group are more than capable of sharing... (P.S. I am one lucky person, who although do not share the plight, have been privileged to be a part of their path to healing and finding new happiness in their lives... so I should be "sane" enough to say that they are not loonies...!!)
YES... I have been with the group right from the start... and one of the most heart-warming things is to see members of the group go from strength-to-strength... Some were hesitant initially.. but once you open your heart to good things happening to you, its amazing what can happen... Apart from providing support, I think many in the group has served as "consultants" in various capacities... from practical things like how to prepare DOS, appeal to HDB... to obscure things like the best reply for when you get posed the question "So.. are you married??" or "where's your wife/husband?"
So dun hesistate now... take the first step... and I am sure none in the group has ever regretted that tiny little baby step that has given them all back so so much....
Of cos I have to qualify that the group does not enourage separation nor divorce... Nobody wants to have to go through such an unhappy episode in their lives. Members of the group subscribe to the belief that a marriage is a lifelong commitment. Unfortunately they were not given the chance, for various reasons, to give testimonial to this.
