I've been judged pretty harshly in some of my threads on here, and I know how painful it can be. I even had someone basically questioning whether I loved and was taking good care of my daughter-when she's the center of my life. (I just don't talk about her as much on here because it's a psychotherapy board.) I've come to learn to be selective in who I listen to. Like if someone just joined a month ago and/or clearly doesn't know any of the background to a situation I'm dealing with, then I do my bedt to just ignore them or at least take their comment with a grain of salt. But it can still hurt. I've found the number of supportive people on this forum to greatly outnumber the judgmental ones, so it's worth it to me to stay. But I get the impulse to leave (and did so on another site years ago because of the judgment).
