The facts were *never* with her parents. They only turned on Michael when he refused their demand for 50% of the malpractice settlement. Her mother gave him her blessing, in court statements, 12 yrs ago to begin dating other women.
Terri is finally no longer anyone's pawn. She's is finally at peace.

After probably three weeks of reading statements on this case, that is the best comment I have read.
Pretty shameless of you to only bring up half the story on the mother' blessing for dating.
The statements and reports on them indicate that she said she would do that so Michael would let them have custody of their daughter.
Interesting how you choose to only talk about the facts that fall on Micheal Shiavo's side.
What about the the facts of the xray done several years ago that showed she had compression fractures!!!
Compression fractures are an indicator of possible intended attack! As in....SOMEBODY MAY HAVE BEATEN HER!
THEN THERE IS THE FACT that in the first years....Michael Shiavo denied therapy to Terri.
Oh...AND LETS LOOK AT THE FACT THAT THE JUDGE...WHO HAS RECIEVED DONATIONS FROM THE HOSPICE, THE ACTIVISTS THAT AID MICHAEL SHIAVO, RIGHT TO DIE GROUPS, AND MICHAEL SHIAVO'S LAWYER.......
Ruled in Michael's favor...BASED SOLELY ON HIS HEARSAY!
Even when many other witnesses had detailed statements how Terry would want to live. Not to mention her faith issue.
THEN THERE IS THE FACT...that third party medical opinions were not allowed.
NOR were outside medical evaluations. Nor was video allowed for quite some time.
Lets look at ALL the facts...shall we...
Good post... So many facts are unknown to the masses.
I believe her father asked for the money the court awarded Terri because Michael had suspended care for her dental and other treatments. He was only trying to protect Terri. Get your facts straight...Listen to both sides. As a parent, that makes perfect sense to me. You see your son in law, married to your daughter in name only, spending feverishly and not providing care the money was meant for...I'm surprised the Schindlers held their own as gracefully as they did. I would not have.

Thank you. Maybe we can get on with life now.

No more to build on there. And they, since they
Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.
