Resources for coping

While we encourage you to enjoy time with family and friends, sometimes what should be happy days are anything but happy. Going home can be rough if it means going back in the closet, or listening to words or messages of disapproval. Not going home, and being alone, can also be rough. Here are some words of wisdom and other advice from various sources.
