And it is daunting. It's like poking a very recent scar. It's giving me surges of crazy, desperate hurt and illogical attachment. It's shame at being so f#cking stupid to have been sucked in in the first place. It's deep, deep shame at all the love I poured into her and all the love I lapped up, like a starving stray dog. It's worry that I expend energy into this, and that the board dismiss it out of hand - that they validate all her behaviours.

It's also a slight thing in my head that if the board do give her a caution, or whatever, that she will get REALLY angry and get revenge. The times now when she told me about squaring up to people in fights (casting them in the role of the bad guy) seem less amusing. I could kick myself. I have learned, I suppose, a valuable lesson - to listen carefully when other people reveal mad or aggressive stuff about themselves through anecdotes. Because they will turn on you next. Although, I reason that she won't actually attack me physically because that would probably be career suicide, right? Still, it is unsettling to think there is somebody out there who will want to smash a bottle in my face given half the chance. Argh.

This is stressful, and I can feel my self esteem sinking into my boots. I have to write a whole, wretched report, with all the disgusting details, and there's so much of it. I look insane. She looks insane, but will probably wriggle round to come off looking fantastic, like Motherf#cking Theresa trying to deal with an entitled leper with BPD.

Not your fault!!!!!

Therapy is set up to create an attachment. For better or worse it is part of the process and I completely fit the stray dog analogy.

I hope you get the closure and justice you deserve.

Filing a complaint against my former therapist is one of the most painful parts of the whole mess. I certainly didn't want it to come to that. I hate it turned out the way it did.

Love the stray dog analogy.............I do it too. Stay strong! I say that because it is not me. I would probaly just let myself be walked all over.

You're so brave. I know I should do the same, but I don't have the strength. You're saving other victims.

Thank you.

It is hard, but it would be harder and more damaging to not do it. If that makes sense.

I just want it all over though. But it's going to be a long, boring, unpleasant process. I am so resentful I have to waste my time engaging with this, in order to do right by myself and others.

Wishing you all the strength in the world. I wish that you did not have to do this, that you hadn't been through this thing with this terrible person, but thank you for doing it, because there are so many people who wouldn't be able to, and you are lending them your voice, too.

I think I understand what you mean by it being harder and more damaging not to do it. Please keep us posted.

The mental health charity I spoke to for advice want me to consult a solicitor. They think possibly a legal case is the way forward which complicates things with the regulatory body. My head is fried. Did I mention how much I RESENT THIS WHOLE SHEBANG.

Things like this are always complicated because they involve people we cared for.
