Online Support Groups Near Stockton
Whether you are in Stockton, Lodi, Tracy, Manteca, Mountain House or somewhere else in San Joaquin County, ShareWell has live online support groups you can join after the commute is finally over. Many households here bought the house they could afford in the Valley and kept the job they could not give up in the Bay Area, and the hours in between belong to the freeway.
Every group meets online by live video, so you can join from home.
These online groups start during the day and evening in Pacific time, so they fit a day near Stockton.

Leaving in the dark, getting home in the dark
The drive over the Altamont Pass starts before sunrise and ends after the kids are in bed. Couples run the house by text message, one parent handling every morning and the other every weekend, and the marriage gets whatever energy is left on Sunday. People who grew up in Stockton watch their town fill with newcomers who sleep here and live somewhere else, and newcomers from the Bay feel they belong to neither place. Add the Valley heat, the money stress that drove the move in the first place, and parents who are aging back in Oakland or San Jose, and there is very little room left for the person doing all of it.
