I have to say that the initial posting left me feeling a bit defensive. This from lillamy helped me "get it":

Not to "armchair analyze" you, Erin, but I don't see your expectation to not be heard as hurtful to this community. I think it's probably just your experiences of how much assistance, help, and support you've received so far.
I hope you come back to see that you are cared for here.
I'll join the long list of well-wishers, which I hope you do return to see. I sincerely hope you find some peace and healing. I believe we at SR can help w/that, if you let us.
