I hear your pain!!! I am also in group therapy and have something similiar happen this week. I disclosed on Wednesday that I had a sexual relationship with my former T. Someone in the group said "did you have to pay for it?" Everybody laughed. I was horrified. The group leader immediately told the person that was not acceptable. I too wanted to quit. I forced myself to go to group yesterday and today. I expressed myself in the best way I could and told everyone how invalidated I felt. I am still angry. The people involved didn't think they did anything wrong. The group leaders have indicated this is something that is part of the group therapy process and will need to be worked thru.
I guess I just wanted to say that I know how you feel. I fully support you. But I want to suggest that you go to at least one more group and talk about your feelings. Chances are the person who said the comment might not know they did anything wrong.
Let us know what happens.
