Thanks, sunrise....I appreciate your support.

Before the woman piped up, I got very little feedback from the group about what I was sharing. There was no depth to their responses...or there was just silence....it was so, unfulfilling. Even the new T posted his feelings on the blog about my disclosure...and encouraged others to post theirs....and NOTHING. This has been a gripe I've had for quite a while, so I'd feel like I'm beating a dead horse by raising it again.

I just feel like there's no reason at all for me to share my issues...because I really don't get much out of it, other than feeling vulnerable to a group of people who don't have anything to give back to me.

Wow, that sounds really cold, doesn't it? I know people will think - why are you still going to this group? I have learned an awful lot about myself and how I relate to others, which is where I've found the most value. But when it comes to sharing personal traumas, etc. - this group just does not seem to be a good fit for me.
