The Sisterhood Of Support has been an island of safety for partners of sex addicts for over fifteen years. Born of an idea from a small group of partners of sex addicts who were quite active on my Blog site, marriedtoasexaddict.com, and who wanted a very private place to share their stories. I created the Sisterhood of Support as a safe place for them to share their stories of pain and trauma, hope and support with each other as they navigated through the complexities of being in a relationship with and loving a sex addict.
Over the years we have all shared the good, the bad and the ugly of our personal experiences. I can never offer enough appreciation and thanks to all those women who have passed through my websites and the forums and have shared their stories. All of you have helped me navigate through my journey as much as we helped each other.
The total amounts of Topics started and Replies now exceeds over a quarter of a million posts. That is 256,849 Topics and Replies. Those posts would fill volumes! Actually, I figured that out. Estimating that each topic and reply is only 100 words (a very conservative estimate, some of us are quite wordy) all of those topics and replies would fill about 35,000 single spaced pages.This is much too much information for this website and too much for a new partner to absorb.
It is time to archive all of that information and extract some trends, statistics and conclusions, and try to make some sense of it all for a new book and new features for the websites.
The Sisterhood Of Support and Married To A Sex Addict websites are being updated in ways that will continue to offer partners of sex addicts a place to find support, resources and most of all, a safe environment to heal from the trauma of betrayal.s.
So, I am closing the Forums subscription area of the Sisterhood, but the voices of the Sisters will continue to echo throughout the Blogs, my articles and comments from readers. New ideas and features will be added as they are developed. But, as always, this is not just a website, it is the voices of The Sisterhood, the voices of the thousands of women who have sheltered here. We shared our stories, our pain, our frustration, our trauma…and our wisdom and our truths as we leaned on each other and navigated our way through the fog. That is The Sisterhood.
