I tell you this is a classic case of Narcissism and sociopathic behaviors. There is no cure for it. You may be better off to just find a nice family member to visit so you can have family.
Just stay away from Mom because you can get messed up as well. You will not learn how to treat children with her example. As she gets older she may do things in secret, to hurt you physically, without leaving proof she did it.
She is crazy and needs to be evaluated. Most of the time they have that one they hurt. I am sorry.
I am also proud of you for allowing yourself to be in harms way on acct of the family. Now it is your turn to take care of yourself.
Also have a bit more self esteem and fell good abt yourself.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
