A rather bitter pill to swallow (vent):; It legitimately does not matter if you are truly sorry for what you did or who you were in the past. It doesn't even matter if you truly change for the better and truly repent and grow as a person. They will still hate you just the same. You are damned if you do, and are damned if you don't. So with that being said, focus on you and becoming better than whatever you once were - that's all that you really can do, anyway.
