HF,
I think you have every right to be angry - I mean deep down angry. You were cheated out of something that was rightly yours. I guess a lot of us were.
I've had a similar awkward experience with my T when I called him at home during a crisis. He answered to phone and simply said "hello" and I was like "um, I think I have the wrong number, sorry, but um, I was trying to reach Dr. XXXX" and he said "Speaking" and I said "No, Dr. XXXXX the psychiatrist" and he said "this is he, who is calling please?"
I think I said something really stupid like "No sh*t - I didn't expect you to just say hello" and then I launched into a detailed apology about disturbing his family etc...
Looking back on it, it was hilarious.But, I'm glad you called your T and I'm glad he answered, sometimes just hearing their voice is enough. I think it helps us to realize that we are not completely alone.
Take care
