As we enter this holiday, I want to take a moment to see each of you—those celebrating with family, those gathering with chosen friends, and those spending the day in quiet or gentle solitude.
For some, Thanksgiving brings warmth, connection, and cherished traditions. For others in our community, it carries complications, loneliness, or emotional weight. Not every family table is a safe one. If that is your reality, please hear this: you are not alone. Chosen family matters just as much—sometimes more—and the love you build is every bit as real, valid, and powerful.
Many of us will be here on the forums and on Discord throughout the day and night. If you need company, a conversation, or simply a space where you can exist fully as yourself without explanation, you will find open hearts and welcoming words.
If this holiday feels like more than you can carry, or if you find yourself in distress, support is available 24/7. Please reach out to others — both here on Susan's Place and via the various hotlines, where there is always a comforting ear available to help you in your time of greatest need:
You deserve safety, support, and compassion—not just today, but every single day.
Wherever you are, and however you are spending this holiday, I am deeply grateful that you are here with us.
Wishing you a warm, peaceful, and gentle Thanksgiving.
— Susan 💜

Happy Thanksgiving, Susan!
And to all of our Staff and Members, too. Have a safe a joyous holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. Whether you are or not, I hope you are in the company of those who love you and vice versa.
