Thanks for the replies, guys.

Unfortunately, the deadline has passed to instigate any legal proceedings, and that was never my intention anyway. I only became so angry when I (and my mother) were clearly sacrificed a few years later for the sake of his career. I tried to place this review on the two websites available to me in the uk: patientopinion and iwantgreatcare. Both of them have declined to publish it.

So... it seems like I can't even express it except in private to my own MH professionals. I was talking to a CPN the other day about it, and I was reasoning that I need to forgive for my own sake, and she said that she doesn't think I should. She didn't have any ideas for what I can do though.

I am thinking of writing the entire thing as a real-life inspired fictional account with the names changed and seeing if I can can get that published. Then, if the "good" doctor has any issues with it, the onus will be on him to prove that it's true. I could only win in that case.
