I think you have done a wonderful job of overcoming such adversity. You deserve every good thing that comes your way.
Perhaps your situation was a greater benefit to you than you realize. I'm a believer that good comes out of bad. Look at the person you have become because of where you were. You are strong, self-assured, independent, and happy... just as your HP meant for you to be when he created you. We all want to be on the mountain top, but it's in the valleys we grow.
You've done a great job, and you have much to be proud of.
