A lot of it-which isn't everything was money. A ton of money was lot from bankruptcy stemming from my parents divorcing. More money was lost at least thousands of dollars when we had to move out in an emergency because of that ex-neighbor we had. Being rejected from my mothers family because they hate my mother. I also feel like I lost time because until I got internet connection for a few years, I believed everything I was told, and that dictated everything I believed, tried, and said. I lost my ability to gain trust easily, while I was born a bit more cautious than average, so much stuff happened that I went from a bit cautious to feeling crippled with fear.
It also permanently messed up my emotional development being separated from my mother for around a year at such a young age. It still effects me at 21 and a half. I had to get a subpar home schooling education because the bullying I was getting in the fifth grade was that extreme. I also never got to really know my grandmother that well before she died, because of a family feud going on that resulted in me hardly ever seeing her until her final years. Which was a big shame because she seemed to be a very nice person, and had knowledge that seemed to be at least 3 decades ahead of her time.
