Pretty tough when your caretakers turn on you isn't it. If it's any consolation, which its not, my mother dumped me off in an orphanage after throwing my Dad out (she finally divorced him) so she could copulate with a couple different new boyfriends. She never came back for me and I ended up having to go into boot camp to start my career as an E1 as there were really no other options when I graduated from high school and had to leave the orphanage. She became a big lawyer and has traveled the world and consulted Ronald Reagan on real estate matters etc.. We haven't talked in years. Oh the evil of it all!
My key came through working with a good Christian psychologist who was very experienced and certified in cognitive behavior therapy (cbt) as well. That and the wonderful people I met and befriended at various college/career single church groups. Most of them were empathetic and several were VERY supportive.
Today I am a certified network engineer (CNE,MCP) and have highest honors with a Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems, etc.. and have done more things in the past decade that many people do in a lifetime.. started a business, worked for big corporations, learned musical instruments and performed in front of lots of people.. etc..
Definitely get help from TRUSTWORTHY sources! Don't deal with it yourself. The pain never has completely left but it has been manageable. Peace :).
