Susan, I saw you two become friends, and I saw you get hurt by this. As the person who was hurt directly by this, I really don't think you have anything to fear. I really don't.
A lot of us have had our differences here, and they've eventually smoothed out or become a nonissue or even led to understanding and friendship.
You have your solid base of support here, the people that won't give up on you no matter what, and then you have the supporters who can help when they're emotionally up to it, and then the ones we allll have, the people who can't even stand to see our screen names and put their hands over their eyes until they've scrolled past that part

OK, maybe that's a minor exaggeration but you get my drift.
I honestly, honestly, HONESTLY think you have nothing to fear as far as being abandoned.
