I had similar childhood. I spent a lot of time with the computer during/in my childhood. I was bullied both in the elementary school and in the middle school too, both verbally and physically too. My mother did everything for us (for my brother and me). She loved us more than anything. I learned the school subjects a lot with her. I finished the middle school as a private student. Once I was diagnosed with dysthymia (a chronic form of depression). I got out of that (fortunately/luckily without using drugs), but I had and I still have other disabilities, for example autism spectrum disorder.

Nowadays I live alone, but I am not lonely. I have love, enjoyment, happines and peace with my Harris's hawk.

Nowadays I live under the local minimum wage, but no matter what will happen, I will not give up. There is something to live for.

I am happy to read that you also found peace and happines in your life.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
