The only reason I know this as her car has a magnet on it with her kids school name. I know her car because many sessions she gets there after me and while I'm waiting in my car for her (her office door is locked), I see her pull up.
I don't want to volunteer there if she will. The first meeting is Dec. 5th. Would you come out and ask her or go and wait to see if she shows up. But I'll be very uncomfortable if she is there as she is well known in her children's school and the school has ties to the community center.
I'm nervous if I bring it up she will ask how do I know she will volunteer there? Should I just approach it as guess what I'm doing? Going to volunteer. And then sees what she says.
My appointment with her is tomorrow. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

Yobeth, help me understand. You knew when you volunteered that this would be an event where your T would likely be present. You knew that you would not want to be there is she was. You are uncomfortalbe about being there because she is well thought of? Why? Will people somehow think less of her if you are there? Or are you afraid that she will be involved in her own activities and not show you the attention that you wish she would (I will be standing in a corner alone you said). I would definately talk to her about this. There seems to be much more going on here than meets the eye. It seems to me that if you really don't want to be involved in community activities where your T might be present you just wouldn't have volunteered in the first place.
