(((((((((Blaire))))))))) I'm sorry that they were not more supportive. But it was good that you reached out. Then reached out again, here. Good for you! Seriously, because that shows great strength. You are also to be congratulated on trying to be objective and find a way to fix or view it from another perspective. That's important, but can be hard to do at such a time.
Know that you are not alone. Seems "presenting well" can be both a blessing and a curse. Wish I had some words of wisdom, but even without them, I want you to know that you are heard and what you're saying is very relatable.
