Me telling people my adoptive family was very abusive and violent at age 35: Oh, that's awful! You went through so much! Why didn't anyone do anything?

I had multiple counselors in high school, and I would tell them, "My sister ran away from home. My other sister tried to kill me. I had to talk my mother down from slashing her wrists" and they acted like it was the Self Esteemers episode of Daria instead, idk, doing anything to address my obvious PTSD symptoms or reporting me to CPS.
