I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem like she did anything outrageously wrong. In fact, a lot of it you probably didn't see as wrong until after termination.

Thank you for your opinion. I disagree that those things were not unethical. I think they inadvertently intensified my attachment to her, an issue she knew I had all along. I think it was negligence on her part. Sure, there is nothing specific in the guidelines that say drawing heart notes is wrong, but I think she acted from her emotions and was not being objective from the beginning. Even if she changed her behavior after realizing it was harming me, it still harmed me.
