A couple of weeks ago The Adult Children of Addictive and Dysfunctional Families, a self help group I attend, decided to have a business meeting. I agreed to chair the meeting and minute it. Given the fact that the group consisted of ‘dysfunctional adult children’, I felt we did a good job. At the next meeting, I presented a draft copy of the minutes to the group. One person, let’s call him Mervyn, made drastic changes everywhere. He was adamant that we drop the words ‘addictive and dysfunctional families’ and replace them with the word ‘alcoholics’. I was simply furious. I expressed my unhappiness and left. I was in turmoil, I blamed Mervyn for being manipulative, then I blamed the group for being “spineless” and not backing me up and finally I blamed myself for getting the minutes all mixed up. The next week saw an explosion of explanations in my morning pages. I was caught in the ‘blame game’. The good thing was that I did not run away, I was still in touch with this underlying sense that I was ‘missing the point’.
The Rest of article on this website :) Enjoy!
