My childhood was not easy. My parents divorced when I was only 5 years old. I stayed with my mother, who worked two jobs to support us.

I had to help her a lot around the house and take care of my younger brother.
I quickly realized that I needed to be an adult and responsible. I learned to cook, clean, do laundry and take care of others. I also started working early to help my mother.

As a result, I grew up early. I was more mature than other kids my age. I understood what responsibility was, and I was ready for any difficulties.
Of course, early adulthood also has its downsides. I lost a lot as a child. I couldn't just be a child and enjoy a carefree life. I had to deal with adult problems early on.

But I believe that early adulthood taught me many important things. She taught me responsibility, independence and determination. She also taught me to appreciate what I have.

What was your childhood like?

If you too experienced a difficult childhood and grew up early, know that you are not alone. Many people have gone through this. And it is important to remember that everything we experience makes us stronger.

Here are some tips that can help you cope with the consequences of a difficult childhood and early adulthood:

• Talk to someone about what you are experiencing. This could be a friend, relative, psychologist or someone else you trust. Talking about your feelings can be difficult, but it is important for your emotional health.
• Allow yourself time to recover. Early adulthood can be a very traumatic experience. Give yourself time to process what you've experienced and don't rush into recovery.
• Seek support. There are many resources that can help you cope with the effects of a difficult childhood. These could be support groups, psychological counseling, or other programs.

Remember that you are not alone and that you can overcome all difficulties.🤗
