What messed you up?

Parents announced that they were getting divorced shortly before I was going to go on my first date when I was 14 after months of my mom abandoning my dad, brother, sister and I to go to her home city. A few months later she get a "new" boyfriend long story short I find out she cheated on my dad because he wasn't treating her like a princess, she screws him with child support, drags us out of town and drops us at our grand parents while she goes off with her boyfriend.

I basically lost my early teenage years because my mom dunped me at my grand parents every other weekend where I only had a 1989 Mac with no internet (this was 2009-2011), which meant I could only do math there and had to do English, French, history, and science, one the week nights, the only time I was able to try and hang out with friends because my dad needed help around the house and emotional support. I basically left high school with severly stunted social skills and paranoid about relationships with women either screwing me, or fucking my futer kids up as bad as I am.
