Violent childhood: I'm sorry to hear you've experienced a violent childhood -- this is more common than most people realize. There is certainly help available, though, through psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals. Some treatment focus might be on medications affecting neurotransmitters, but the bulk of help will come through psychotherapies. These can affect neurotransmitters also!
