Do you think that at the other board (Do you mean another website?) that those people aren't there as often as people are here? If you mean here, I think you are wrong, people here DO CARE about you !!
It appears that the damage to your heart that your family caused you can cloud things, unfortunately we can't go back and change that but please do realize that the rest of the world, people that meet you most likely aren't like your parents, others do appreciate your being here, you are a dear, sweet, person to many here (including myself) so please try to see that
It is terrible what the power of words (negative statements) can do to a child, they sadly carry over into the adult child's life, but you need to tell yourself those people are wrong, even trying to prove that to them (cause their ignorance) is a waste of your time.
This may sound hokey but develop a daily affirmation, that you are a good person and people do like and care about you, not everyne in this world will like one another but that is natural, on the otherhand there are people that will and do like you, I being one of them and there ar plenty more

Take care and keep your chin up, I am sure it is a pretty one
