Welcome! It's wonderful that you have escaped at such a young age, when you still have time to make the right choices to have a fulfilling life.
I can sympathize with the stuff about your family. My mother always hated me. Now she's so sick and desperate that she can't even remember that she hates me. It's very sad. Sometimes I think I should remind her, but she'd just forget again.
Hope to hear from you often.
Regards, Mum
