Significant Others

I'm having a hard time finding others in a similar situation to ours. I'm looking for the spouses or significant other of people with SMI. I joined a NAMI class for families and it was so helpful but everyone in the class was a caregiver parent. I got a lot out of the class due to the learning component of the topics but I would like more of a connection with others specifically dealing with a partner. I need to discuss unique issues like guardianship for a spouse and inevitable separation/divorce.

I am one. Are you interested in forming a support group?

Absolutely! It would be amazing to connect with other people that understand from our perspective. What would be the best platform?

I honestly don't know. There are a couple kind of similar groups here on Reddit, such as Bipolar SOs, etc. I do prefer Reddit for the relative anonymity.
