Dear Miller,
I'm really sorry it ended up like that...you're right that's not fair at all... The thing is I hope i don't sound like I'm trying to teach you anything but i just want to tell you what i know about psychologists. I believe that the policy is that EVERYTHING must remain between you and him/her however, if there is any chance of threat to oneself or another, i think they are obliged to break that confidentiality based on the law. I'm not positive about this but i think that's how it goes. Nonetheless, I think what's disturbing about the situation is that he didn't tell you he was going to do anything about it before calling the cops. That's completely misleading, but technically i think he was doing what he was supposed to do in those situations. It sucks that he was so logistical, that's so not fair to you. I hope you straightened things out and everything went well...
