how do you get over having such a hard life

i've had a hard life, i admit to that...probably travelled a path less trodden...instead of feeling sorry for myself thinking 'i'm the only one' how can i really get to terms with everything i've been through?

You have to leave the past in the past. And just move forward. Thats what i did. I lost a brother, both parents, a sister, and 2 children. If i dwelled on their deaths i would not be fully there for my 2 surviving children. I dodged bullets as a kid, i saw people murdered with my own eyes. I left that life behind the minute i became an adult and never looked back. I decided that i wanted my life to be better.
