You have learned a lot too, haven't you? Recognizing what your step-mom did to you, and that you needed a mother and didn't have one. I feel for you. That must have really been awful to go through, and not easy to remember either.

Is it okay if I ask you a few questions?

What would you do differently as your adult self if you were back in the same situations?

As a child, what did you try to do to change the situation and to cope with it?

How did you feel about it?

I have more comments for you, but maybe it is best to give you a chance to look for your own answers.
