I want to emphasize that not getting appropriate attention from parents as a child is no small or trivial matter. Parents can be held criminally liable for failure to attend properly to the emotional as well as physical needs of a child. That failure can certainly leave a person coming from such a home with severe impairments. Children can be removed from homes providing inadequate parental attention and put into foster care or into residentual treatment facilities. (Sometimes those places are little better than the home the child was removed from. Sometimes they are better, even much better.) Maybe you should have been taken from your parents when you were a child.

Now you are an adult, so what could have or should have been done in the past can't be corrected now.

I would advise youbto ask your doctor or other heakthcare provider about Psychsocial Rehab. That's something you might never hear about, or get a shot at, unless you specifically ask and push for it. Typically, these programs have a bus or van that picks you up at where you live and brings you back. Some people are even provided with a "support worker" who comes by to help you with cleaning your flat and doing other chores.
