Angelwings, Many of us have horrible pasts. The difference is that we have an "aha" moment. You've had one now. You've realised that you have allowed your friends to treat you badly because your family did.
You came here wanted to know how you could pretend to be happy when you weren't. Now you've realised that you deserve genuine happiness. OK you may not have seen much in the past, but the future starts NOW.
There are plenty of ways to recover from your past, I teach one, EFT. I used it to recover from my childhood baggage. You can do that too.
Read all of Steve and Erin's blogs. They are full of information about how to increase your happiness.
Look at the webpages of many of the contributors here, Many of us care deeply about our own and other people's Personal development.
You don't have to find THE PATH right now, just pulling your head out of the mire and looking around at what's available is fine for now. When you've looked around abit and understand what it's all like, you can then decide what path to follow.
Angelwings, half the trick is realising that you have options. You've done that now. The world is your oyster, so enjoy it!
Joy to you!
Hazel
