I am so sorry this happened, Freek. These people should not be representing LLL. There have been mamas in my group who could only partially breastfed, and a few who were feeding donor milk in bottles, as well as formula feeding, but were interested to see what they could do next time. I always let my group know that any mama who is interested in breastfeeding is welcome in our group. I am sorry you weren't supported. LLL is, sadly, going through some serious finacial and leadership (on the International Level) crisises, and there is a push to keep less of an eye on individual leaders in the name of "leader autonomy" (in other words, less having to be responsible and to Area and International supervisors and have to give out a United message) by saying that we should "Trust" our leaders. IMO, it is hurting the entire organization. I wish there was a way I could apologise for these people.
