My girl is leaving

Thanks, Sarge. I've only recently worked through to the idea that there is someone up there/out there who takes an interest. Still, there's no expectation of concrete help; consider my own need to disengage from my daughter's decisions.

As for the lawsuit, taken in context it doesn't mean much. But to be publicly humiliated when you're the one that did everything possible - to have that be your legacy after so many years - is hard.

Time for bed.

Sorry this doesn't help O but in my experience no good deed goes unpunished but you do them anyway...

Yes, like most parents, you do the best you can, then cringe while they make their own mistakes

Most of the general population realize these lawsuits are all about the money. How much the ambulance chasers can squeeze the insurance companies. Even the "victims" know it's a money game. If they smell more money they'll do it, but the sharks would rather grab the quick buck and not do all the work of preparing a case which will convince judge and jury.
So while it might be a blow to your professionalism, and your pride, I doubt it will be your legacy, you're much better than that.
