TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The need to come to the rescue again and again with no recognition. Then always being disappointed when she gets no reward for her gargantuan efforts.

>From _Co-Dependent No More_:
Beware of the Drama Triangle: There are three roles in every drama, and they rotate without mercy.
The roles are Victim, Villain, and Hero. If you start out in one role, you are doomed to rotate to another before the drama has been played out.
I have seen the truth of this time after time in office situations. The only escape is to learn to recognize dramas as they unfold and refuse to be sucked in to any drama. This can be done through courageous communication to dissolve the drama, or by running away (or regretfully and professionally and maturely removing oneself from the situation).
