<p>^^Yes, it sounds like a pretty sucky experience for your D, lmkh70. No doubt.</p>
<p>But this latest iteration of transgressions is just proving my original perception and my lastest point: Your beef seems to be more with the mistreatment and lack of respect than with your D’s health. There’s nothing wrong with hating it and never doing it again. But your question in your original post was, basically, “Did I do the right thing when I told my D she didn’t have to go to the last performance?” </p>
<p>You already know my opinion now. There seems to be a lot of support here for ensuring your D’s health. I’m all for that, too. But ‘ensuring’ it just prior to the last performance after what I assume was at least a month of effort? </p>
<p>My perception was, and is, that the mistreatment is what got to you the most – not your D’s health. And I posted again (above) because it seemed that so many fellow CCer’s had latched onto the health issue to the detriment of the real issue – should she be encouraged to quit on the very last day? It seemed to me – still seems to me – that you were staging a protest of sorts, AGAINST the mistreatment as opposed to FOR her health, through your D (who would have had to live with the consequences, btw). I just thought it was a bad idea. I’m glad she chose to attend that last performance.</p>
