Maybe it sounds extreme to you, but I stand by it. This wasn't one person saying something stupid once; it was multiple professionals, on multiple occasions over the course of almost 3 years. Then I was blamed for what was said and constantly made to defend the fact that I refused to walk away so close to my dream without a fight. And the fact that you bragged about your decades worth of training to know better cancels out all of your excuses. It was like once someone made up their mind that I didn't belong there, you would stop at nothing to get rid of me and as long as I never had a client again, you could forget that I am a human being with feelings looking down the barrel of my entire life collapsing, you couldn't tell me why, and you couldn't even respect me enough to look me in the eye while ruining my future.

And don't think for a second I wasn't on to that spying crap. Their job was as much to spy on the masters students as it was to run the center. Then you took what they told you behind our backs and published it in an e-mail that went out to more than 40 people. Of course no names were ever given but we knew who we were. You couldn't just approach us to our face and bring up your concerns, you had to do it behind our backs with spies! That wasn't wrong at all.
