@Lindsey920 It's good that you started to fix your book, that's always a great place to start. Not everyone here will engage with you and get to know you before they critique, which means that most users here judge everyone on a level playing field -- holding back very little, so to speak. I critique a younger writer the same as I critique an older one, same with I critique a first language speaker the same as a bilingual writer. I don't believe in sugar-coating when I critique, so I always warn of people before hand. But I can agree that if you didn't ask for it then the critic probably shouldn't have commented.

@Lindsey920 Ah, well it depends, if she gave you a critique for the purpose of highlighting your flaws so that you can improve -- then I can see why she did it. But, you need to think about if you're ready for a critique, if you're not ready for a critique (there's no shame in that) then you should indicate so on your work. The feedback and comments on this site are moderated and really quite mellow compared to the responses you'll receive on a more serious site. Writing is one of those games where you have to have a thick skin, sadly. If I could see the critique then I could help you out more.
