SMP Community Center Application

This online community is intended to be a respite and a resource center for moms who share the circumstance of parenting a child who’s adopted a trans-identity. We believe the best way we can contribute to the healthiest possible outcomes for our whole families is to resource ourselves so we can be stable, present and attuned to the needs of the moment rather than letting fear and anger drive our behavior and wreak havoc on our relationships. 

As growth-oriented moms, we tend to be learners who seek ways to get bigger than our problems.

This is a private, vetted, paid community. Please answer the following questions to receive an invitation to join. Detail is important to the approval process. 

All of the questions are "required".  If you already have a relationship with StoicMom, you can enter "client" or "former client" or something similar to describe how we know each other and skip the detailed response about your family situation.

Please explain your family situation that inspired you to find your way here. Detail here helps with vetting. How long have you been dealing with this? Do you have other children? How has this affected your quality of life? You don't have to answer these specific questions, but it's important to be a little vulnerable here to ensure this  community will be a good fit for you.  *
This is not considered a “gender critical” space but rather a space for moms dealing with an incredibly destabilizing parenting experience and seeking to resource themselves. There are a wide range of views and approaches so please be courteous and thoughtful in your posts.  Posting about divisive, political, or activism-related topics is discouraged. *

Stoic Principles we strive to embrace within the community:

We recognize we cannot control external circumstances, but we can choose how we respond to them.

We don't suppress or avoid difficult and intense emotions but aim to understand what they're communicating to us. 

The obstacle is the way--humans have amazing capacity for resilience and healing, and it's through the most difficult things in life that we discover our strongest, most compassionate selves. 


We believe everyone's doing the best they can with their current skills and understanding of how the world works.
