During this time, care partners were forced to navigate uncertain terrain as well as new and challenging relational tensions. This study investigated the experiences of dementia care partners and the relational tensions present as they managed the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic using Relational Dialectics Theory framework. By analyzing recorded support groups from the early days of the pandemic (April through June, 2020), we identified two chief tensions expressed by participants throughout their support groups:\n                    <jats:italic>connection\u2014independence<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>gratitude\u2014frustration<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Participants experienced these tensions in different ways, and they engaged in four tension management strategies (\n                    <jats:italic>selection<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>minimization<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>reframing<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>venting and comradery<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) through the support group.
