WOW

I see some reflection of my own childhood in your post. It is rare that I have found someone who has the upper middle class lifestyle then dumped into poverty.

I remember living and wanting for nothing until the age of 11 - when my great grandmother died. My grandmother was an alcoholic and my mother was out of her career due to carpal tunnel syndrome.

She had to reeducate herself. So she worked two jobs and went to school full time(mind you this is after my grandmother comitted suicide). At the ripe age of 12 I began to raise myself and I was terrified of staying home alone (in yes, a run down mobile home) way out in the DARK country.

Know that you are not the only one out there. I never suffered sexual abuse in the way you did but I have experienced it.
