DEAR SUN SPOTS: I hope you can answer this letter as soon as you can! I am trying to find out if there are group meetings for parents who have children in prison. My daughter is really having a hard time with that situation. I am looking for group meetings close to the Lewiston-Auburn region. Thank you very much in anticipation of your reply. — D.M., Lewiston
ANSWER: Sun Spots found numerous support groups online, with www.dailystrength.org (http://tinyurl.com/6gxnv8d), showing up in nearly every search. Another result was www.prisontalk.com, which features online forums. Online, she only found a couple support groups that meet physically in Maine, one in Bangor, another in Ellsworth. Sun Spots hopes there is one locally and that one of her readers will be able to help you find it.
