I joined the PTA many years ago and really enjoyed it until my ex decided he fancied it too and became chairman. After our divorce he married the PTA secretary.. she was welcome to him.

Anyone any experience of putting your heart and soul into a community venture just to find that the games that people play drive you out? Don't want to say too much in case it can be identified.
