I think about this almost every day and I have done for years. I was horribly bullied by a teacher at school. He was incredibly cruel to me, to the extent that my dad refused to shake his hand after the way he treated me. It has scarred me and I feel like I need to address it. It was 14 years ago since I was at school, but can't seem to get past this. I've tried searching for him online. It's almost become an unhealthy obsession. It is almost like I need some form of closure. AIBU? I don't know why it still upsets me. It drove me to self harming behaviour at the time it was that bad...

Write the letter and then burn it.

Have you had counselling?

What did he do? Do any of the same teachers still work there?

Counselling would probably be better for you. What outcome do you want?

May be worth writing to the LEA, or maybe the school can tell you who to write to. Just incase they are still teaching.

What did he do?

Is he likely to still be teaching, or would he have reached retirement age by now?
