"Support groups are not for everyone"

The most challenging aspect is how to reconcile the different needs of participants. There are those who come to the group out of force of habit, have no real understanding of what a peer support group is, or have no desire to follow our objectives. "Support groups are not for everyone" say writers on the subject. I cannot but agree. Good thing we have a quiet minority who understands we are not a debating society. I thank them for their spirit of altruism, rather than narrow self interest. They are why I stay.
