and told me such things as "I don't know where the intelligent and interesting girl who came here two years ago went"

and "oh the lab is such a supportive place full of good people"

no, no its not and its never been since I've been here

tried to blame me for the fact he has never taught me anything at all while I've been here

and never been a supervisor to me ever

thinks your professor sounds like a real asshole!

asks if you can appeal to someone higher up than him? I'm hoping his that is an empty one - but even if it is, this bullying behavior is unprofessional!

says he should be teaching and mentoring you - that's his job here and he's failed at it

offers hugs and support

oh darling, I need to give you a huge hug when I (hopefully?) see you on Saturday

and yes, that sounds extremely inappropriate of your professor! People in positions of authority like that are supposed to be supportive and try to fix issues, not just blame their students >|

That intelligent and interesting girl is still intelligent and interesting!

The mental health professional you were talking to -- can they do anything to help support you?

sorry I just realized that my phone garbled one of the things I said earlier. It should have said: I'm hoping his threat is an empty one - but even if it is, this bullying behavior is unprofessional!
