Need honest perspective from people who’ve been in bands/built projects from scratch.

Imagine this situation:

You founded a band from day one. You came up with the name, the concept, the direction, found the members, worked on the music ideas, and basically built everything from the ground up. You even had your own space for rehearsals and ended up investing a lot of time, energy, and even taking a hit on your own work/business just to keep things going.

Now, while you’re going through a rough personal phase, the rest of the band, without any proper discussion.. decides to remove you. They revoke your access to accounts, continue operating, and even go ahead and publicly announce that you’ve “stepped away.”

On top of that, everything (name, identity, visuals, etc.) was originally created by you and is legally under your control.

If you were in this situation-

- What would you do?

- Would you try to resolve it or walk away?

- How would you handle the band continuing without you using what you built?

Not sharing full details yet, just trying to understand how others in the music community would approach something like this.

Appreciate any honest thoughts.
