Hey Jeff,
I was glad to hear you felt good about being here. This is a very open place to tell what you want and get help and ideas from others.
Keep posting your feelings and why you think they tell you these people bully you.
Sometimes people just say things in anger because they don't have anything better to say. Possibly they don't understand your feelings?
I hope you talk here and do come back, we are all in need here of many things.
