I agree with this.

Just from what was posted in other threads, I think the termination was poorly managed. Immediately cutting a highly dependent client off is traumatizing and cruel. I can think of a few other ways this situation could have been handled to make termination easier.

That said, I don’t think was happened was illegal or professionally unethical (per guidelines). However, none of the most painful things that have been done to me in my life were illegal. Laws don’t always dictate right or wrong.
