That's a big can of worms. He will probably say, "She has borderline tendencies and is unstable."

When he told me i had borderline traits i asked him what that is. He said, "Manipulative and dramatic." That is nowhere in the DSM. Rather dehumanizing.

*trigger*
When I told him I was having terrible nightmares about being tortured and assaulted, he said "So you're into bdsm and are bisexual." wtf? No, i was tortured by a woman sexually as a child. He knew that. Invalidating.

There are a lot of these moments.

I'm just angry.
Still, you should file a complaint with the medical board. Patient abandonment is a very objective thing, and it will be hard for him to deny that that's what happened.

Also, I recommend you get a copy of all your medical records from his office stat, before he has a chance to change them.
