Hi @mcrudd - I'm glad you're starting to feel better. It's lovely to read the support you've been given here on this thread. <3
Your family is adorable, and look! over 1000 other people agree with me cause they've downloaded them! :) B) I know it's almost impossible when you're feeling so down and going through a traumatic time, but when you're feeling a bit better, I hope you can feel good that so many people have loved your creation so much that they downloaded your family and are now happily playing with them. Your generosity has made others happy. You'll probably never know how much fun you've helped someone else have in their own game. You're a kind and thoughtful person, and if sharing your sims brings you some happiness, then start up your game, get creating and keep sharing! And keep doing it your way - you'll always find others who appreciate your sense of style and fun.
I've taught people from all walks of life over the past 30 years, and have observed and been involved with a lot of bullying and harrassment cases, and every time, the person behind the nastiness is always in a lot of pain themselves. Sometimes it's as "simple" as loneliness and any attention is better than none, but other times their pain is very deep and it's easier for them to cope with being angry then having to deal with their immense sadness. Know that it's not personal. These people leaving unkind comments do not know you. The old adage, "it's them, not you", holds a lot of merit.
Congrats on being fav'd! B)
