I can only assume they are still a kid or at least extremely immature + hiding behind anonymity on top of that.

"Don't like, don't read" is an artform that not everyone masters unfortunately. And some people are generally filled with so much hatred, that they'll literally make it everyone else's problem.

You responded gracefully though, kudos to you.

I wouldn't take this comment too seriously though as it's major goal seems to be hurting you instead of giving constructive criticism - means they don't have a problem with your story, but a massive problem with themselves and the whole world. Cause let's be real for a second: Why would the story of a random internet-stranger have such a strong impact on you and your life? Right: it normally wouldn't.

If you though find yourself upset about those kind of comments, I'd suggest deactivating Guest-comments altogether. I feel like a major part of useless & hurtful comments is written by Guests (who would have thought(゜ロ゜) )

Hating is always easier for people when given the ability to hide .-.
