Teary ~
YOU ARE NOT OVERREACTING!!

Although I am far from a legal consultant, or even with much legal knowledge, your rights have been violated! As simple as that, and you have every right to feel violated.

Perhaps it would be best for you to immediately disolve any further contact with those people.
It is apparent that your already existing trust issues are now further reinforced by those who you believed you were safe with.

I feel helpless and very limited. I'm so unfamiliar to how the laws work, however, it is only apparent that there was a breech in patient/doctor confidentiality here.
You have been violated in more ways than one here.

Does anyone else have something to provide Teary to point her in the right direction with this?

Have patience, Teary. I'm sure that someone can help you.

I'm here for you......
