I am so sorry, especially since I think you may be right. (I know what it is like to reveal oneself and watch a sudden change in the perception of another/others...once in a while, thank goodness, a friend is found...((((hugs)))). Know that you are deserving of help and, this could be very hard and only you know if it is worth it, you have a right to request a review and to talk to those who made this decision to ask for more specific information.
Take care, let us know how it goes.
