WHAT SHALL I DO? [poll]
As most here know I have been a commissioner for my clan society for a number of years now.
Without going into too many details for the last couple years being a commissioner has not been fun.
There was an individual (a former commissioner) allowed back into the society (in my area of operations) after she had caused much dissension & ill will, despite the protests of myself or the (then) regional rep. She then has gone on to diregard certain rules set out by the national board, & thus far the "National" has backed off on acting.
I'm at my wits end & feel like I'm getting no support.
I have enough stress in my life with both financial & health issues, and don't need anymore added to it.
I have considered saying adios to the society as an active member, and instead become active with another clan society that I have deep blood ties too. In fact they have already opened their arms to me.
Its a tough choice, and I'd like to ask everyone your opinion, both in the form of a poll & your written opinions.
Thanks in advance.

Life's too short. If it's no longer fun, go with the flow.

It is not always possible to have a choice in life, in this case you do. Cut your losses and leave the miserable and ineffective ones behind.

Well, you can get all kinds of opinions but, you have to do what you feel is right in "your" heart!
It all hinges upon your reasons for joining this particular clan, in this role. If it is a labor of love, and fun, then say adios! Bow out amicably and with class, and go to the other clan.
Don't get involved in the management aspects just enjoy being part of the rabble. If you do get involved this or a very similar situation will just occur all over again!
Just my particular opinion!

Clans are only as good as the family feeling you get from them. If you don't get support, move on.

Why be part of something that doesn't support you? If the other society is welcoming you openly, then I say accept their warm welcome and wish the other other society the best.

If it were me, I'd choose the positive situation over the negative one and move on. Best of luck.
