I agree with your post.

I am scared as EVER to go to this conference. I have been added to a private forum of others who are going and have went a few years in a row.  I am really looking forward to it even though things are really rough.

I know there were scholarship funds but I do believe they have been used up. Because there was someone else who commented and said that they didn't qualify for scholarship. It makes me sad. I wish I was able to help others go because I know how valuable it is to have that support.

I have been on board of directors for group of moms that attended retreats every year.  Some would know each other going and others wouldn't until they go to the retreat.  We always ran fundraisers to help others get to the retreats.  It is soooooo important.  

I am looking at this conference as an investment into my healing.  It is going to financially strap us. However, I need to do it. I need to get back to work. I NEED to get past where I am.  The last few weeks have been horrific and this week has pretty much spiraled out of control.  So this investment....while it might be rough..I need to do it for me.  

What group or page were you talking about on FB? I don't belong to any FB groups that relate to D.I.D.  They are not private and others can see that I joined the group. So paranoia kind of sets in.  
My husband knows about D.I.D. But isn't very knowledgeable and just met with my therapist for the first time last week. Which caused a horrible backlash on a week that my therapist has been sick the whole week and I have had no support in the end.  OYE....yes we need more places where we can be us. Get support we need and go forward.....
