Please try not to feel bad about not choosing another series instead. Nobody can mind-read or see the future. There's no way you could have known JK's views, and now that they're out they still can't take away the good her books did for you.

(This is why I hate when people brag about how they "knew it" whenever someone famous turns out like... this. No you didn't, nobody did. You just didn't like her and now you have a good excuse for it.)

This. *Maybe* there's stuff in the books that can be read as suggestive of her shitty personal politics, but like, there's a reason people have been arguing about Shakespeare's opinions of women for several centuries. A writer's work does suggest their views, but it's like the world's most complicated magic eye puzzle - everyone's gonna see something slightly different, some people will see the exact opposite to other people, and no one can just look and see what the creator was thinking.
And anyone who says they can is so full of shit it's coming out their ears.

Also, I'm glad you got through that difficult time, OP. It's a truly good thing you were able to find a way to help yourself through to the other side. The fact that the way you chose has been tainted for you now, due to information you couldn't have known back then, doesn't diminish the tangible good it did. You're here, and you're doing much better, and that's awesome.

It's natural to feel angry and hurt by Rowling, but don't beat yourself up for her mistakes, when you had no way of knowing what she was thinking.
