In our meetings the chair reminds people to keep conversation relevant to recovery and only speak for 3-5 minutes.
I wondered the same about her being tossed, Flynbuy. I'm also a big fan of meetings where the chair reminds folks why we're there, as you mention above. Long rambling "shares" that are unrelated to recovery are just counterproductive. I've visited a few Alanon meetings w/Problem People to one degree or another, but they've always been just that--visits--not my main meeting, and so I've not really dealt with this myself.
lillamy, I love the solution to your Problem Lady situation that you posted!
I agree that it does seem a shame for you to miss out on a group you feel at home at b/c of one person, rosalba, and I agree that talking to the old-timers might be a good place to start to find answers.
Good luck, and I'd love it if you'd let us know if/how you solve the problem.
