[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 409278, member: 59"] I'm glad I'm not alone in my experiences. I went to one meeting in the middle of a crisis and I held it together for almost the entire meeting until the discussion on the reading which was about giving up the anger and forgiveness. I asked how I could forgive an evil person who cotinued to help my difficult child in her drug addiction. I went on to explain that I had so much hate for this person and it was consuming me. The chairperson got a blank look on his face, looked around the room like I had just committed a huge faux pas by bringing a personal experience into the group. Only one person offered a short response and then the chairperson redirected the topic. I left that meeting in tears, wondering how this could help so many people and what was wrong with me that I didn't get the same thing out of it. This was not the first time I had gone to this group. I had been going for several months, so I gave it a fair shot. It wasn't the only unfulfilling experience I had but certainly one of the most glaring. Nancy [/QUOTE]
