This is a good way to self-destruct and a terrible coping method. You may feel like you have no other option because no one bothered to teach you what it means to be a grown-up, but the fact that you are aware of the shortcomings of your circumstances makes you more mature than those who abandoned you here in the first place. The first lesson you will have to learn if you are going to come through: How to receive help.
