Falling In Love

Post Reply New Topic

I had one woman ask me to be an online relationship a long time ago, before we'd even met, and to make it official on social media. I told her no, and that I didn't think people could be in a real relationship without having met in person.

The lady who works for us Cathy said she was going to talk to her boss Raina about getting me on unsupervised dates through the program to help me get to my goal of marriage

It is 100% legit!

Day programs aren’t all the same. I know people with diverse needs who go to them. Some have part-time jobs. Some only go to the program 3 days a week. In my current town, there are 3 different day programs that I’m aware of. There’s one for profound mental disabilities in which people learn basic life skills, there’s one for people with significant psychological disorders where they spend their days doing therapeutic activities, and there’s one for people with diverse disabilities in which they can come and go as they please. Its primary purpose is to get them out of the house and to socialize in a safe, supportive environment. There’s another program in which people spend half the day learning skills and the other half working a part-time job. I suppose it’s something you could graduate out of, but the people in the program seem to have such significant disabilities they typically don’t.

In my hometown, I was very briefly in a day program right after I experienced my initial trauma many years ago. I qualified on account of acute PTSD. I didn’t stay in the program for very long because it wasn’t a good fit for me. No one else had my particular problems. I don’t remember that much about it to be honest. It was not a good time in my life. If I could do it over again, I would’ve gotten involved in the support groups for survivors in the YWCA instead.

It is just a place to go out into the community

Love and friendship can be found there too

I was in a day program, never thought that was a day program. When I was a child, my mom wanted me to socialize, I was in a program, I forgot what name of the program, I remember I wore an uniform. I also took classes in the community. I also went to a workshop, I took classes to learn things & also do work, there were outhings, like field trips everyweek. I met my first boyfriend there, we never dated, we went to different places with a group outing. I was in an art gallery workshop, I was in a dance program, I performed onstage too, one of my performance, I performed for 300 people, it was the first time I fitted in, I was a part of something.

See it really IS possible to find love at Day Program!

What I have experienced; no I don't feel you can fall in love on line. Until you actually know how you will handle disagreements; how you will deal with each other's different habits; how you both feel about child rearing, etc. A relationship is hard work and you can only get an idealized version on line

Well I personally know people who met online, started dating and got married but they all met each other in person

I read articles online that people can fall in love. My mom met her boyfriend online, they fell in love. My boyfriend told me he loves me, I didn’t say it back, I didn’t know how I feel. I really hope we meet one day, but he lives in different country
