you know, there are times when i realize the 'insignificance' of my own personal problems. sometimes, i have a tendency to think, that the world revolves around ME, and MY needs. having said that, there are times when i think of how lucky i am, to have the most caring family ANYBODY could ask for.....
.....this is one of those times.
I really don't know what to tell you, OP'er. Maybe life has a different challenge for you. Maybe you were supposed to live this type of life as a youngster, because it will give you some sort of STRENGTH in the future...
...and maybe, this particular STRENGTH (whatever it may be), will lead you to a life of success.
If you can get through your problem, then you will LEARN from experience. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you keep a positive outlook on life (even though this may be difficult).
The least you could do, it think about all the good things in your life. do you have clothes to wear? do you have any major dissabilities? do you have food in your fridge?
I've learned (over the years), to appreciate what you DO have, as oppose to what you DON'T have...
...in time, you will realize that the things most important to you - YOU ALLREADY HAVE!
i hope my words make sense,
again, good luck in finding your own feet in a world that is sometimes hard to understand
