The purpose of the meeting was to try and make things better for me. However, people were accusatory, belittling,threatening and emotionally abusive. Somebody kept giving me serious looks.
Said they wanted more verbal communication from me eventhough I give the most. In return, they didn't give me any information when I asked. Someobdy had to leave because she got upset.
By the way, the president of the company sent me a great letter of congratulations. And they knew about it. The day before this meeting.

If you called the meeting to make things better for you, it may have been an ill-conceived idea. If you are a supervisor, your best path to making things better for you is to make things better for everyone. You do that by being consistent with discipline, using discipline and rewarding hard workers.
When workers deserve discipline and don't get it, that lowers the morale of the whole work environment. Meting out appropriate and deserved discipline may dampen spirits in the short-run, but in the long-run is better for morale.
If the meeting was called by someone else for the purpose of making things better for you, it could involve two possibilities. One, it was really an intervention, but they told you it was to help you. Two, it was a re-assignment session that others felt the pain of having to change.
Since you were recently commended, there may be some jealousy involved. Ignore the jealousy and comment on positive things others do. Redeem yourself in time with positive comments. Choose behaviors that honestly deserve commending and give positive comments.
Good Luck!

Why would they try to make things better for you if you were already doing fine work so that you got a letter of commendation from the pres. Sounds like they want to knock you off the top. Ignore them....do your job well...and start to share word dof encouragement with each of them privately... it will help them feel more secure....and like you are working on their side... Don't play favorites... treat them all the same even if they were mean.
