I joined DAfree because I wanted to understand more about what abuse can look like in everyday life. I thought I knew the basics, but this community opened my eyes to things I hadn’t really considered, like how control can happen without shouting or hitting. It’s quiet, respectful, and there’s no pressure to talk about your own experiences. You can just read and learn at your own pace. Awareness is indeed the first step, and the more AWARER we become, the more we can spot the signs and help those affected by domestic abuse.

Caring & Supportive Community
A growing group of Lyme patients who openly share their experiences. I have received a lot of helpful information from several members who have been fighting this disease for years. It's a great source of knowledgable people who truly care and want to help. The weekly virtual meeting is especially terrific. I have met some really wonderful folks on this site and I especially enjoy getting to know them and their stories more intimately through the private chat option. The site is well managed by its creator, who is a kind, compassionate and caring individual. I'm glad to be a part of this group.

A Place of Understanding
The group is for folks who are facing medical challenges, particularly Lyme and related conditions, to build a supportive community. We want to be uplifting to one another, not create more negativity. The group is new, but so far it’s been amazing to see how we have connected across the country with our shared experiences and hopes for recovery. My third week joining the call was really helpful.
