Carmen,

I had a couple thoughts about your daughter in the support groups. I hope you don’t mind me sharing.

In the groups there could be this thought that it is us (LGBT) vs. them (the rest of the world). That could make it always feel like an uphill battle or a war.

My other thought is that could be a lot of depressed people going to these support groups. When they chat, the stories could be about how their families don’t approve of them or isolate them.
