There's always the possibility that you're right.
I think over the years therapists have become more internet savvy and we don't hear as many therapists responding badly. Most respond with empathy and professionalism. But that's not to say any given therapist couldn't find it upsetting. And perhaps more if her kids were involved.
It's hard to know from the outside where any given therapist would stand. What do you think? What sort of indicators has she given out?
I always talked a lot about Babble, so I knew my therapist's general stance on any number of issues. He always responded with the assumption that I was secretly talking about myself. Although I don't think I actually brought him any hypotheticals that had any bearing on me directly. At least at the time. But if you know how they react in general it's easier to apply it in any given case.
