@amberpep, I am so sorry for what happened to you. I was an FA until it became obvious to me that I was on too much pain medicine to make the best decisions for my clients and I got out. I feel horrible when this happens to anyone and it is a black eye for the industry. I won't ever be back in the biz, but I hate to see people view the industry in the same light as car dealers and attorneys, sorry to either of you groups. It is a shame that there is usually not much left for recapture. At least believe that you did not abuse your Father's money or memory, the crooked FA did that and you should bear no guilt over someone else's actions. I know that does not help with the current situation, but guilt is a horrible, debilitating emotion.
