It means you were not appreciated. Taken for granted means to be treated like you would stay around forever despite someone treating you wrong. It's not appreciating or understanding the importance of something or someone.

Taking something for granted is a phrase which is used to mean that you would expect it to happen or you would expect it to be. Someties it hints that there should be an element of appreciation, but perhaps ther is none given.

You might say that you take it for granted that parents will provide a safe place for you to live, and that they will feed you and wash your clothes etc. It is something that parents do for you almost automatically and dont expect anything in return. Perhaps an occasional 'Thank You' would show that there is an appreciation.

Presume is another way of saying 'take for granted'. The verb 'presume' means 'to suppose to be true without proof'. That same definition applies to 'take for granted'.
