I can certainly empathize with having had a rough go in life, and I imagine several members here can as well. Unfortunately, going through a rough start does not mean that the rest of our lives will be smooth sailing. In fact, people like us who have had to endure past challenges may have to work even harder than the average population to get what we want in life.

It sounds like you are stuck in the past, how you have been mistreated and those who are to blame (like your mother). Unfortunately, staying stuck in the past will do you no good moving forward in life. However, it is your choice on what to focus on. If you want to stay stuck on the injustices done to you in the past, then that is your call. But I hope you will be able to move past that someday.
