Hi 
Your story is very moving. I’m sorry you had to go through such a difficult childhood and adolescence. I’m glad that’s now behind you and that you’ve been able to overcome all that pain and turn it into the strength to carry on. It’s admirable. Your students are very lucky to have you as a role model.
I recommend that you follow the advice of your mentors, and I invite you to explore the communities I’ve linked below. Enjoy this journey you’re embarking on here!
