Your Life may be compounded with the pain of "yesterday." mixed with the disappointment and fustrations of "today."  Many try to survive each day using alcohol, work, promiscuity, drugs, and other compulsive behaviors to drown out the inner noise of hurt, anger, and despair..........

The good news is that those who successfully  overcome victimhood force themselves in directions that they know are healthy, in spite of tremendous doubts and fears that pull them back.
