I would treat this termination like any job termination...and make sure that your rebuttal is place into your file, and when, if ever, the report of your termination is released to someone, then the rebuttal will also have to be released to the same party... THAT'S the only reason I would write it.

I'm sorry someone felt they needed to give you their feelings about your mental health situation when you just wanted some help with the words you wrote.

Each step is a good step in the right direction, dar, imo. ((((hugs))))
