I am 65, reference point for this post only, and believe me through the decades it has been challenging at times to say the least.
With that said, I 1st off send you lots of hugs and the knowledge that you are a really good person with a huge heart, one an tell by your post.
I have been there, in so far as when my "parents", that is for another day, will just say that they were unkind, kicked me out at 18 I lived any which way I could and it was hell. BUT..BUT things started to gel and it got better
I have always found it so sad that is world still revolves around a money sign and NOT what humans can do for each other to make everything better. But there in again, one can find their niche, and better themselves and the folks around them.
I 100% believe in you, as far as you will do really goods things in the future for yourself and others.
Please have a awesome weekend, relax and enjoy a sunny day with puffy white clouds in a vibrant blue sky background.
All my best to you, stay safe (away from Covid),
Walter
