[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 607580, member: 13542"] MWM, I'm sorry you have to experience this once again. It's unfortunate but, as you have witnessed, there are many people who play out their internal dramas externally on the world stage. All scenarios differ in so many ways and really, only you can determine where you stand in the middle of all the varying personalities. If it felt right to me, I think I might calmly and without judgement, simply talk to the head honcho and express my truth about Jane in that her personality disrupts the actual point you are all there. That you so enjoy helping in this org. however, you won't allow yourself to be harmed and perhaps ask if there is something that he/she is willing to do to alleviate the problem since there have been other issues with other people. We can't always change the scenario, however, in our expression of honesty, I believe we can free ourselves of the drama and no matter what happens after that conversation, you have told your truth, you have expressed your boundary and if need be, everyone knows you will move on if it continues. I've done a lot of volunteering in many capacities as well and not everyone gets involved for the reasons of altruism. Egos are often at play all around us........ what's helped me the most is to express my truth and let go of the outcome, always taking care of myself. [/QUOTE]
