[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet]

hi liz..... there are some people out there who are on the perpetual
pity pot of life - they are easy to spot cause they have a very deep
ring around their butt from sitting on the pity pot so long [grin].
you may need to confront her on her attitude and ask her what she wants
and expects out of the group [when i say you i mean either you singly
or you the entire group].  if the group is not willing to back you on
confronting her and you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself, then
maybe you need to look for another group or start one yourself. you may
be able to get a professional therapist, counselor, or facilitator to
assist you.  then you and either the facilitator or the group decide at
the beginning what agenda you all wish to follow and go from there.
 
good luck and let me know how it goes.
 
Nadine
