Dej, I understand. Our local group started in 2004 and went strong for 4 years. Then we had newbies join that didn't ask questions. Instead they just complained about other things in their lives instead of talking about their MS difficulties.

The leader got discouraged and quit. The new leader didn't know how to contain this sort of complaining, so most of the oldtimers quit. Me included.

I found it was just better for my sanity to find online groups for my interests. Sometimes we just have to do what is best for us. I now only go to advertised events with doctors and speakers on the agenda.
