One of the reasons I am so charged up about this issue is that I have seen the high school counselor around town twice in the span of two months. This has been very unusual. Before that I had not seen him for many, many years. Both occurences brought up all kinds of emotions. I wanted to say something to him so badly. I wanted to tell him how different my life could have been if he had handled my situation thoughtfully. But I did not approach him. Coincidentally, my present therapist knows him. She says that he is arrogant and demeaning and that when she worked with him he had done a grave injustice to four students who were then referred to her: He had labeled them "bad kids" when, in her opinion, they were not so bad, at all. I feel like talking to him, but if he's arrogant or condescending I might end up feeling worse. It's been a long time, his answer might be "Get over it," which I know would only prove his moral cowardice, but it would still frustrate me.
Thanks to everyone who has given me support in this thread so far!
