Can you get advice here? I know there would be a ton of people here willing to offer their know-how.
I would have bowed out the minute it went from neutral territory to someone's home.
I'm with Martina - my experience is when you go from a neutral site to a home the dynamic changes; and NEVER for the better.
Speak to the folks that you enjoy and see if they would like to get together one on one. You do NOT owe the group a reason for not attending any longer -just inform the organizer that you won't be coming any more. And if she asks why (which she will) just tell her that you prefer to keep that to yourself. Let them wonder! They will invent a far better story than you could!
