So strange. I will let you know if I figure out another way to invite you. All I know is I click on an invite button and put your username in. I assume from there it is sending a message. I'm trying to figure out if there is a link instead I can send you.

It says I already sent you an invite and won't let me again. I am checking into this.

I had been posting a lot of private info on the chat boards. No identifying info but I was still worried it could be traced by my kids if they knew to go to this board. Someone suggested I start a private social group, which I thought was a great idea. I will admit I'm not an expert and have some questions. I set it up as private and made sure all the settings were private. Some people have told me that I shouldn't trust that. The group does not show up and you have to be invited to join. I did have it set up so I could only invite people but would it matter if I changed it to letting others in the group be allowed to invite people? It would still be a private group. Also there is a place to invite people and I'm assuming it shows up in their messages. Some people say they don't have private messages so can't get the invite. Is there another way for me to invite them? I also invited some people but they found out their messenger was off. It won't let me invite them again. Is there any other way? Also since I originally posted about the group on this general chat board I'm wondering how long I should keep that post up. I've only invited people I know have posted before before. I wanted to be sure someone just didn't make a profile to be in the social group-probably far fetched but my kids know I'm on this board and I don't want it searchable by them.

Wow that's amazing and I thought my son had a big growth spurt. He grew a foot in high school. He was barely 5 feet as a freshman and was just under 6 feet at graduation. I still feel like he is growing a bit at 18. The doctors call him 6 feet but he is actually 5 -11 3/4. He's hoping for that extra quarter inch lol.

Are you normally able to receive PMs? A few people seem to be having this problem. I sent you an invite but for some reason you didn't receive a message. Since I already sent you an invite it won't let me send you another one. I'm going to see if I can get some answers. Sorry about this.

I'm sorry. I'm trying. For some reason it won't let me resend it since it says I already sent one to you. Im trying again or I'm going to see if there is anything else I can do.

I thought everyone had messenger through the regular board. When I am on the forums page I see 4 white boxes within a blue square. When you click that it will show you several things including messenger. I sent you an invite that should show up there but I will try again.

I set all the settings to private. I am new to this but according to the settings it can't be searched from a different source and you need to be invited to join the group. I don't see it listed under the social groups. It should only show up for those who are actually in the group. Another member of the WTM board has tried to search for it too to make sure it is private and she cannot find it either.

Another thing to think of especially if she goes to a hospital that isn't nearby. I can't remember what the age is but I know it's under 17 that hospitals won't necessarily share anything with parents unless they have written permission from the teen. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So she could be admitted and then parents not be allowed to call her etc or find out about her condition. My daughter's doctor told us this when she was younger. It's also important with college students. My dd was having a bad reaction to an increase in a medication. She was out of state. We thought she had serotonin syndrome (can be deadly) but one of the symptoms she had was extreme anxiety. They gave her something to combat the anxiety but made her very sleepy and incoherent. Due to her state she was unable to have a conversation with me. I tried to call and talk to someone to see what was going on but they couldn't give me any information since she hadn't signed anything. I had to wait several hours to find out if she was going to be ok. She was an adult but since it was considered medical and a mental condition they would not have been able to share information with me even if she was a teen unless she allowed it. My dd has had depression and I've worried about what would happen if she ever had to be admitted, especially if she didn't give me prior permission. It's just something to be aware of since mental conditions are definitely complicated. Also it's been awhile since I was told this so don't take my information as 100% correct.

I don't know of any groups on here but my mom had cancer. I'm not an expert but am happy to try to answer any questions about our experience. I'm so sorry you are going through this

I am trying to add you but it won't let me. It won't let me send you a message either. Can anyone help me? I type in her user name in the invite. After typing in a few letters her name shows up. I click on it and it says she doesn't exist. I know I have the spelling and capitalization correct.

Really it doesn't matter. Mine are 18-24. I just thought it would be a good private place to discuss some issues pertaining to that age group. Those who have gone it before might have ideas for the rest of us.

Thank you

Thank you. I appreciate it!

Thank you. I have a post with a title of online dating. I'm not sure what you meant by content but I asked a question about my daughter's situation with online dating.

Is there a way to tell how private it is? I followed the directions to set it up as private but it was a bit confusing. I've had people send me Pm's to join but I'm assuming that's the only way people can see what is posted in the group. I don't want it searchable from a search engine. I thought it was just members of the group who could see anything. Also I didn't see how to set up a link.

I am making this group private again. I hope everyone was able to join the group who wanted to. Of course you are still welcome to join or tell others but will need to send me a message and then I will send you an invite..

I would live to add to this as I'm definitely in the middle of this situation right now. I'm trying to keep things private since I'm not sure if my dd knows about this page. You are welcome to PM. I also just started a chat group "Parents of Adult children" that you are welcome to join. Just PM me if you would like an invitation.

I started a private chat group but I have no idea how to send a link to this page. I assume I should have made the group hidden to keep the information private Once I get this to work I will probably edit this post again. I wish I knew about this earlier. Thank you!

Yes this has me very confused. I could never think of my daughter as a boarder.

I created a social group. I felt it was better that way-more privacy and I won't constantly be bringing up this topic. Please message me if you are interested in joining.

It's not just the bathroom! It's the fact that she refuses to do anything.
