Counselor Stole My Dad

**Ciera** · 05-23-2012, 01:47 PM

My question involves medical malpractice in the state of: Washington. My Ex-counselor used to do marriage counseling for my parents and for me individually. A few years later my dad moved in with her and now they are married. I'm old enough now to realize the damage done and how seriously screwed up I am emotionally and mentally from all of this. It has been about 5 years. I am wondering if the statute of limitations is up and if not, if I would be able to pursue a malpractice suit and if so how much money might I be looking at? (PS. She had her license revoked or suspended right after my dad and her got together.)

Were you still her patient when your father moved in with her?

Depending on your present age the statute of limitations may or may not have run. From what you've told us so far I doubt you have a strong case, but if you want to find out you should run the facts past a malpractice lawyer in your state.

No. It had been a few years but it wasn't long enough for her to not have her license revoked.

And I was 8 or 9 when she was mine and my parents counselor. 11 when my dad moved in with her. And I'm 16 now.

I'm not seeing much of a case, either.

Counseling might be your best bet.

I hate to point out the obvious, but she didn't 'steal' your father. He went willingly and of his own accord. Although I do understand your feelings.
