Thanks for sharing your story. I've got some similarities, but I think it's really good you've got some stability at the moment.
It's hard to give advice without sounding like a fuck knuckle, but if I can say this:
There are really good people out there. People that you might think of as family. It doesn't always help ease the ache of what's missing, but give it a chance.
Sorry if that comes across oddly. It's just been my experience as someone who had no one from age 14 onwards.
