A true story that i want to turn into a series

This is the story of a woman who never knew a normal childhood. From the start, she suffered from mental abuse. At just 7 years old, she was forced to cook, clean, and raise her sister’s children. She lived with a brother in law who was a pedophile, while her mother controlled every aspect of her life. Every boy who showed interest in her was pushed away. and at 20, she was forced to marry her cousin, a man who almost beat her to death. She got divorced after 2 months of suffering, and had to find a way out of that house.

At 22, she was desperate to escape, so she married a man 19 years older than her. He was divorced, and had two kids. He grew up in a broken household, with a father who was barely there, staying out and visiting occasionally, never spending a dime on the family. On the other hand, his mother worked hard to support the family, saved money, bought a house, and even put aside enough to send him abroad to work.

After his divorce, he didn’t know what to do until his friend mentioned his neighbor, her. He went to introduce himself to her and her family. They didn’t marry for love. There were no feelings between them. They simply found each other fit as a husband and wife.a practical solution to escape their circumstances. Neither of them expected anything more than a way out, but as time passed, they grew feelings for each other. But unfortunatly he dies after 20 years. And again she tries to survive alone.

This is the story of my mother. The story is still not finished, however from after the death of my father the story talks about family problems and betrayal, grief, financial problems, depression.

I would like to turn this into a series, I'm open to any feedback or advice

Don't tell the story of your mother.

Instead, invent a fictional character inspired by your mother’s experiences. Tell a story that is a slice of time — not a whole life birth to adulthood. It should have a goal and an obstacle, a theme that the character must learn.

Life is messy. Fiction has a structure. Fictionalizing it will give you distance, plus a chance to make it about something, rather than a list of events that happened to someone.
