We have to vent! Go for it! It is hard to feel good about ourselves when we have criticisms coming at us. I wish I could let them roll off of me, even when I know they are unfounded. I also know that no matter how hard i try i can 't please everyone and I am now trying to please myself--oh but then I feel guilty! It's helpful reading your venting though, it's cathartic and brave--I think!
