All of the above?
Personally, it did sound to me as though she has a problem. Going after you does not sound very professional to me -- it sounds downright defensive. "I may have done something foolish -- but it's *your* fault!"
>>Thank you soooo much.
Goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: You're very welcome.
>>It relieves me that it is her responsibiliy to block numbers. She probably knows that too. I did think of it.
Good. I kinda sorta figured you would have, and I hope you'll look at this as a perception check: two people here validated your thoughts on the subject. While we could all just be so screwy we can't be taken seriously, there's also a pretty good chance that we're not, so maybe you're feeling guilty and accused over something that really isn't your 'fault.'
>> Why should she wave such a temptation in front of a slew of Borderlines? Funny but I REALLY wonder if she has a motive. I can't be the only patient who has done this.
I'm sure you're not the only patient to do this. Heck, I'd have done the same, I suspect, in your situation. Don't focus on her motivation, though. You don't know what it would have been, and you can't 'know' it because you don't have enough information. Focus instead on your part of this, on how you feel, what might have reduced your distress in the moment, how you can respond to her getting after you about using the number.
Good luck.
