OP, I know it doesn't feel like this now, but the truth is that you have already won. You've won because you are kind and loving and courageous and wise and mature* and a wonderful decent human being, and all that will last a lifetime, and as you go through life most people will appreciate you hugely for all that. Look at the way the whole internet** is supporting you.

  • okay, a bit naive but a) you're 18, you're only a beginner adult, naive is part of that, and b) that naivety was actually trust and decency.

** Or most of it.

That’s the thing about trust and being naive; when the trust is reciprocated, everyone calls you trustworthy, brave, and reliable. But when you trust something or someone genuinely, and you care about them, and love isn’t returned, you get shunned for being naive. Thank you for the kind words. Everyone’s support has been amazing.
