I don’t know how to answer this other than to say that you just need to live the best life you can. Understand that it isn’t your fault that this happened but also don’t give in and let yourself go. First and foremost love yourself. Keep a positive attitude. Now you know what this is, so walk with your head high and keep fighting for your best life.
