My mom (schizophrenia) killed herself when I was 18 two days after my birthday and my dad spent most of his time in a depressed bipolar state and never had a job, did drugs and drank and laid on the couch.
I never got to see my mom much, and now as a 27 year old guy I have been through so much trauma that I struggle to function as a person anymore.
In attempts to fill voids, I’ve ruined my life again.
Hopefully one day I can have a family to love and care with and for, but idk if that will ever happen because of my trauma.

hey sweetheart!
wow – typing that out takes a lot of courage! I am proud of you for being this brave! Thank you for sharing this with us and let me reassure you:
There is EVERY possibility to achieve what you are wishing for, that you are taking! Yes, life has thrown hurdles in your path, bigger ones than others had to ever face – but still: You are STILL full of hopes, dreams and wishes! This is absolutely amazing and I am so glad! On your behalf – because wishing and hoping and dreaming – THAT is the fuel that drives all of us.
Please allow yourself to pursue your dreams. You are ‘only’ 27… I met the love of my life at 28, my neighbor met the love of their life at the end of their 40s. Tolkien published the first book of LOTR at 62. There is TIME! You will achieve this! I know you will!
From the bottom of my heart: I wish you all the best! Please feel virtually hugged!!!
You’re only 27. Yes you’ve been through hell and back but you’re still here. You took the first step in admitting this. Take it one day at a time and you’ll be fine. We’ve all been through something these past few years. You’ll have the family you want and the trauma you went through won’t be passed down. Make a plan set goals and do them. You can handle this.
