I have a difficult meeting tomorrow. I belong to a group of women and we explore cultural, esotheric and philosophical meanings. Lately, there has been a tension between me and one of the women who is older than me. She is deeply religious and belongs to an organized religious group. She is always preaching and talking about how much she sacrifises herself for everyone, including us. She is a typical victim, I believe. I have always told her I don´t like preachings, and particularily not the religious kind. When she had driven me crazy with her preaching, I told her kindly that I didn´t think we could do much work together, because I felt there was a tension between us. I told her then that I didn´t want to be too much in her company, although I didn´t doubt she is a good person.
She needs me to like her, for some reason, and keeps calling and is endlessly complicate the matter by saying I judge her, I hate religious people, I think this and that, etc. Now she has asked another woman in the group, the founder, to meet me tomorrow and settle the argument between us, otherwise she won´t come to more meetings or finish a project we have been working on. I don´t care, because that is her choice, but the founder has asked me to please come and talk to both of them.
Any advice? I know I will leave this group like a bat out of hell, but first we have an important social thing to do for juvenile delinguents, and I won´t give that up, because three years of work goes down the drain. I feel trapped.
