I think that this thread is a good place to talk about any issues with Support Groups, problems or not, or non issues even.
I, personally, don't assimilate well into groups that are for support only (I work well in groups/teams to accomplish a task though.) There are just too many different things going on to give any one person or thing full focus, imo. Plus, now, I have moderate to profound deafness, and would miss many points made, especially if two people spoke at once or had a quick exchanging of ideas.
I think a group needs to really have more in common than not with regards to problems. That would keep the group support at least going in basically the same direction, with many of the participants receiving validation from one meeting. But this is just my POV.
