Tired of constantly being asked why I stayed, why I didn't leave sooner, what I was thinking, I am starting this group in the hopes that more women with similar experiences will join me in helping others (and ourselves) who may be in similar situations (or have been in the past), and to raise awareness in the community.

This is a group for people who like to play party games that promote fun, socializing, and laughing. Some examples would be Pictionary, Taboo, Outburst, Guesstures, Apples to Apples, etc. This really isn't a group for the serious, complex, strategic type games.
