I was raised by a single mother after age eight(my father had mental health issues and my mother was told that he might pass them on to me if she didn't divorce him).
It's horrible that you've had to go through what you've been subjected to to get an abortion. I haven't had to face anything like that.
I know you have a lot of reasons to feel distrust of a lot of people in power...but Bernie Sanders isn't one of those people. Please check his website and it will have his stands on all the issues you raise and many others.
What do you need to hear from him to satisfy your concerns? What would be enough for you to say "Ok, I can relax and trust this guy not to ignore me"?
You can't expect him to stop talking about economic justice...that's the reason his campaign matters...but give him a chance to show you that he won't ignore you.
BTW...as has been pointed out to you, HRC has a far greater record of pushing for the things you care about to be ignored. Why don't you have trust issues with her? Especially after her defense of the "welfare reform" bill that made life miserable for millions of women, millions of poc, and a far larger number of LGBTQ people than you'd probably guess.
