I think I need a t-shirt that says, "The drama. Make it stop now."
Yes, I'm still dealing with interpersonal crud. I managed to stop just short of telling one of the people involved that the whole situation was the reason why I was going to be very wary about accepting "independent work" students in the future. Because that would have helped nothing.
On the upside, the poster is done (though not printed; I'm waiting for Monday when someone who's used the large-format printer more recently than I have to be in to give me advice). Because I believe in Murphy's Law, though, I am saving my poster to a flash drive (the backup flash drive I have; the one that is attached to a keychain with a small stuffed Little Bear on it so I don't lose it) and take it home. Just in case one of the students happens to find an envelope of cash and decide to go all Milton Waddams on our building.
I'm going to run a few errands and go out to lunch, and then come back and try to type up the big mess that will eventually be a paper based on this research.

That is the suck. Sorry to hear about it. And I so get what you mean about being the only adult in the room who will walk up to the offending party and say, "You offended me. Let's work this out, 'k?"
On the other hand--a flash drive on your key chain with a little stuffed bear? WANT. This idea warms all the cockles of my heart.
Would having a meeting with all parties involved be out of the question? Making them confront the issues together rather than running to you.
