I have been reading so fast to see what you decide to do, KaraLynne. As I read your first post I just got a lump in my stomach. I only know that my own therapist has always made me feel safe. He will say, "is is ok if I make some observations that will involve sexual issues?" or maybe "do you feel like talking about those issues today?" And I have alway been able answer honestly, and if the answer is 'no' we just go on. I used to think psychologists were like gods, all-knowing people who have worked it all out. I now know that they are just specialists...like plumbers...some of them do good work, and some just don't. Some of them are honest and hard working, some are lazy..and some of them will take your silver. You seem to have good guts and a great deal of strength. Remember, if you decide not to go back to see this guy one more time, it's ok. You don't need to 'win' or show him your strength. He has shown you that he can be insulting in a very passive agressive way. I'm not sure he deserves to see you again.
I hope you find a situation in which you feel safe. Best wishes.
