Hello. Welcome to PC. please hold your head high and be kind and compassionate with yourself. You did nothing wrong. If in hindsight you would have done something differently, then you've learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes we have to experience life through trial and error. Everyone has things they wish they'd done differently. Again, you did nothing wrong. I'm so sorry you are being shamed and bullied. Those people should be ashamed, not you. I agree with the poster who asked if you could get away for a time from your town. This experience can make you better or bitter. Choose better. I wish you peace and healing.
