Hey Teodin,
Let me start by saying your post is not a whine even if others say so, its a fair observation from a new players point of view.
As a player for 5 years though, let me tell you that corporations need experience or the correct manner to survive that and normally 4-5 month old CEO/directors just won't have that. I hate to point this out, but the game is working as intended when older more experienced corporations grind up "new" inexperienced ones. Only the strongest or closest groups survive in Eve.
I ran a corp when I first started playing Eve and we went through the usual cycle - took a few wardecs (which appeared like we were being "griefed" to us) and learnt the lessons from that, but eventually the lack of coordination and enthusiasm (largely from me) ended that corp. Morale takes a kicking when you're losing ships to "griefers" but in hindsight it made me and my corp members much better pilots by having that experience. It also turned me from an Industrialist to hardcore pvper.
So while I'm sure you miss that corp and feel like "griefers" are somehow to blame, you should actually (it sounds crazy right now but with more experience you'd agree) be relishing the challenge of fighting more experienced groups, learning what you can and whethering the "morale shock" storm of a young corp's life.
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I suggest you rejoin your corp, keep ganging up and try to get some help and advice from a veteran pvper on dealing with your enemies. All you need is one good victory to set morale straight and put your corp back on track.
Good luck, Vyk. 
Very true Vkktor, although I would like to add that in all games griefers will exist in one shape or another. It is unfortunate that EVE can "mask" the real griefing pilots much better than in other MMO's out there.
EVE has a steep learning curve, and one of these curves is trying to wrestle with the fact that this game is, at it's core, centrally PvP orientated because players do have that choice of free will that other games as we know try and control.
My advice: Get a fleet up together, search and find this griefer - and destroy him en-masse  . It will be highly likely that in order to grief you he has war decced your corp. If that's the case, get your friends together, make alts, and create 2 new corps to ally with. Make them pay!
