Wow. A horrible situation. Goes from lose to lose more.

Here is my instinct:

I would fight. I would document to the gnat's azz. I would push this to my work-place and try my case there if at all possible.

Here is big-picture:

I would do whatever was possible NOT to have this consume me and destroy me.

I think you have to pause and reflect on you and your life. What will be most destructive to you? What will alllow you to move on?

I am grateful not to face this. Good luck.
