I'm so sorry this happened to you. I want to give the child-you a hug and make it safe. I didn't have your situation, but I grew up with a ton of instability and fear - I was raised on a commune in the woods, and then we moved from place to place...we lived in 11 different places by the time I was 12 years old. A lot of the time we were pretty isolated, and when I finally re-entered society and went to an actual school, I was scared and obviously "different", so I got bullied on and off. I started getting panic attacks and depression aged 14 or so, and it took years before I was able to do what you put so well - make a decision to not remain that scared, lonely kid, but move on, and make the best out of the life you have now. Really glad to hear you are doing well and have love and friends - even just the one really good friend! I'm doing great now too. Yay us.
