INFORMATION FOR SPOUSES/PARTNERS
Being the partner of someone who went to boarding school when they were young can be difficult. That’s why we thought of offering group support – whether it’s to throw some light on why your partner behaves as he or she does, or that they don’t appear to be able to listen to how you feel. When your partner has closed down emotionally it is more than difficult to understand.
This is what this group is here for. It is specifically designed for you to be able to vent. We can listen, give you links to organisations or suggest a list of books that might help you to understand where your partner is coming from, and can also give you some insight into the effects that boarding school might have had on your partner.
It is run by a qualified psychotherapist, Helena Thomas, and is open to anyone who is, or has, lived with an ex-boarder. If you are interested, please go here.
There is also a website called Living With an Ex Boarder.
