*The Sisterhood Forums Are Changing*
Over the years there have been many, many changes in the Sisterhood. The website has changed colors and themes and layouts. Features like chat boxes, Skype group meetings, Zoom group meetings, private coaching and a few others I can’t even remember have come and gone. But one thing has always remained as the foundation of the Sisterhood…and that is the Forums. And, as the website has matured it’s time for the forums to take on an updated role.

Why? A Partner Speaks On Sex Addiction
Why does a man choose hookers over his family? Why didn’t we see this major flaw in our husbands? Why do we stay and have nervous breakdowns when we find out?
