So, I made the mistake  of thinking I was entitled to the same respect as everyone else when I posted on Reddit recently, in a stepmom sub, about being a stepmom and its troubles. 

Nope. I got eviscerated by a few people who claimed I "just hated all young people."  

Does this happen to anyone else when they try to get advice on other stepmom sites? It was so out of the blue and hateful I was taken aback. I forgot how awful mainstream people can be to us. Still can't figure out why being frustrated with badly behaved step kids is such a trigger for people.
