So basically, I'm supposed to wonder what I need you for, convince you that I need something other than what you think I need and be nice to people who have completely screwed me over because society says so?! And are we even going to deal with the thing it all stems from? No? Awesome! You don't decide how easy or hard something is, will be, or should be for me, I do, because you're only assuming, I know!

I can't tell if you think I should be able to do it, or just that they should've let me down easier than they did and done it all differently.

I followed my dreams and got completely decimated for no reason other than your ableist prejudice and the disgusting ways you choose to enforce it. You are responsible for my damage whether you want to admit it or not. And I know you don't because your decades-long history of victim blaming the people you destroy won't let you. Whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose. I'll let God and karma have the final say. For the record, appropriate or not, I regret NOTHING about standing up to you. You deserved it and no one else will. I hope my story haunts you until you remember the training you bragged about so arrogantly yo degrnf your despicable behavior and start treating the future of your profession like human beings. If you don't, the mental health field will become nothing more than a large group of "qualified" victim blamers and you'll never take responsibility for causing it. Don't like the completely false and threatening generalization? Neither did I. Lucky for you, I don't have the power to return your "favor" of breaking me and ruining my life without ever owning my part in putting you there!
