First off, I am sorry you went through all this.
Second, I don't believe there is any such thing as a "normal adult life" anyway.
Third, I DO think you can still have a good and happy life. Not meaning it will always be good or happy, because no one has that, but that in general your life can be good and happy.
You almost certainly need therapy with a good therapist/counselor. Also, support groups, can be very helpful. Finding and doing things you enjoy and that nourish you will help. Making connections with other people is essential.
Take care.
