<p>It's not the OP that's getting ripped to shreds- it's the OP's dau's roommate. Or, does by not chiming in and ripping the roommate to shreds, that means we're ripping the OP to shreds? I'm soooooo confused now.</p>
<p>Actually, I think people have been very gracious and complimentary toward the OP's daughter, who has done an amazing job in her own life so far.</p>
