Yeah unfortunately things like this happen to kids and I am sorry that happened to you. I know what you mean because I was sexually abused as a kid. I don't believe people who say things like "it could always be worse" like that's supposed to be comforting. It's not, because things can always be better too, so they might as well say nothing. Just because I was molested doesn't mean I had it any worse than you. You clearly had a hard upbringing. I wouldn't say it's "normal" but child neglect does happen and I think it happens a lot more than people like to think. It sounds like, from studying and getting into college, you did the best you could do with what you were dealt and that makes you stronger as a person.
IIN that my parents ignored it when I ran away from home at 16?
