God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers.
A change in my life that has effected me positively is that things in my life like your mom leaving you for 7 years almost for a guy she fell in love with. She blames stuff on me, lies on me and we got it settled but then I caught her doing something wrong major but she lied about it a a lot of other stuff so I don't contact her at all any more. I don't consider her my mom any more. A lot more stuff has happened between us but I'm keeping that private. So these hard struggles in life have taught me what doesn't kill you makes you stronger or that God gives his hardest battles to his toughest soldiers.
