I have a story to tell, but how?

Hi,
Hoping someone can advise.
I recently experienced a very traumatic bereavement, compounded by subsequent extreme, reckless behaviour by my immediate family (genuinely sociopathic) essentially living life immediately as if my mother never existed, leaving me utterly traumatised and unable to grieve.
(Its much more interesting than I can explain here!)

I feel I need to tell this story. Somehow.
Stories have been written about much less interesting scandals than this!
But, I’m not a writer. I have no experience at all with writing, script writing, or the arts in general.
How can I get my story out there?
As much for my own healing than for anything else. Where to start? Thanks!

You could start a journal to write it down for yourself as a starting point
