I'm not sure why you posted this in Home Maintenance, Benita, but I understand your problem. My Mother and her brothers were orphaned when she was nine years old. They were raised in a series of homes, and by relatives who really didn't want them, sometimes together, and sometimes split up.
They lived into their 80's, and never got over it. (Mom is still alive, but her last brother recently died at 85 yrs old.
They adapted, they all went on to lead normal lives, and raise healthy, normal children, and had happy life-long marriages. I think having understanding spouses helped all three of them, but in their hearts, they were always abandoned orphans.
Counseling wasn't available to them in the 1930's, but it is now. I'm sure you can learn to adapt and be happy, too, while realizing that you can't change the past, but you don't have to let it control your future.
Good luck and God bless you.

I don't know only you can answer that question for yourself but it sounds like you had a very difficult experience. Have you talked to anyone about your feelings? A friend or family member - are you in contact with any of your family? It might help to talk to someone you are close to about how you feel. Or you could try counselling - this can help sort out your feelings, especially if these childhood experiences are affecting the way you feel about yourself now. Go and talk to your GP about getting some counselling, or if you feel you don't want to talk to your doctor, your local library should have a list of counselling agencies in your area.

It's very sad, I hope you have someone that really loves you now. Try not to waste the rest of your life feeling sad. You deserve to be happy and I hope that you find happiness.
