Answer :

answer:I feel for you @cliofaye. Honestly I feel therapy would be the best way to find these answers. You’d be able to work through your grief, work out your anger, and heal your self while gaining knowledge on how to participate in healthy relationships. If you can’t afford therapy, or your guardians aren’t willing to help you get better find a local charity or service that will help you get the assistance you need. If your school system has a psychologist, ask for help. You’ve been through so much so fast. It’d be a lot for anyone to sort through. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
