We attempted to use others - our mates, friends, and even our children, as our sole source of identity, value and well being, and as a way of trying to restore within us the emotional losses from our childhoods. Our histories may include other powerful addictions which at times we have used to cope with our codependence.



Pillars of Light and Love is a non-profit launched in 2015 by business owner Kathy Opperman. The main focus of the non-profit is Stress and Life Management for all ages. Our goal is to educate children, teens and adults to reduce stress, have strong self-esteem, overcome anxiety, build confidence, and achieve effective coping techniques, positive communication skills, and healthy relationships. Donations raised for Pillars fund workshops and provide free stress relief services to those in need. Applications for free services are acquired through Staff@PillarsofLightandLove.org.
