A remarkable condemnation of the scene in Dr. WhiteCoat's office, Peter. The mindset becomes quite clear when they can't even let you move on without making you wrong for your choice to step out of their system.
And look how much you accomplished by doing so! I wish this was atypical, but read this carefully, folks. Peter lays out an all-too-common scenario here and if you're an unwitting victim caught inside a similar one, it's time to summon your courage and make a hasty exit.
If this work I'm engaged in now can help even a handful of you from going through this with your animals, it will be worth it.
I've been on the receiving end of way too many disastrous cases who didn't leave soon enough.
