So I’m 20 years old now. I’ve had to work some entry level jobs such as housekeeping & bartending. I come from a DV home. Only realising this recently and now have Domestic Violence Orders on both my parents. Other than the violence, I grew up not being able to join any sports, any music lessons, not seeing friends, not being able to even get junior work at a servo down the road unlike my other siblings because of my parents. Due to this I struggle enormously with knowing what I like, what interests me, what career I want and etc. Most things other people my age have figured out or close to. I want to be the first to not only break this cycle of violence, but to go to university. I want to feel purposeful, fulfilled, and to do something I once thought I could never do. I need a good career to have some stability in my life as I have no family & friends to help me when I need (lost all my friends from being to ashamed to tell my situation, why I wasn’t a present friend, why I couldn’t I couldn’t meet up, why I’d disassociate myself and etc). The only mentor in my life was my brother, he was heavily influenced by the health world, and had goals like no one I knew but he died the day after my 18th... so as you can guess I’m looking for guidance
