Posting anonymously because the subject matter is quite frankly embarrassing. I’m in my 30s and currently hold a third class, although I’ve held higher classes in the past.
I recently started communicating with my estranged parents, whom I had not spoken to since I was a teenager. I was digging around for my old dental records that they might have had, and in the course of asking, they told me about an LCSW they made me talk to on and off during my early teens around the time they got divorced. I had been living my life under the impression that the talks I had with this person had to do with academic matters, since my parents are ultra-radical alternative medicine/homeschooling types (which is the original reason I stopped speaking with them when I got old enough to realize what they were doing was not normal or healthy to be around). My parents have said a few things that hint at the LCSW visits not being purely academic, i.e. there could have been some kind of diagnosis (like adjustment issues of some sort). Of course, no medication was involved.
I am willing to dig for details on this, but I have no idea where to start, or where to go to get 17 year old records from a LCSW who may not even be active anymore. My parents are unresponsive/unhelpful in this regard—they don’t appear to even know or care if insurance was involved, who paid for it, what company the LCSW was associated with, or any of that. They seem to genuinely resent that I even asked about it, which is par for the course when dealing with them and a big reminder of why I cut them loose in the first place.
Am I still allowed to fly? What am I obligated to do here? I’m concerned about opening a nearly 2-decade-old can of worms. Is there a protocol to follow when you unearth something from the past that you didn’t know was applicable and have no easy way to verify?
