[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 757299, member: 15032"] To comment on the above statement, I also grew up with very low self esteem. I believe it was because my mother was an alcoholic and my father would beat her, police would come yadda yadda. I used to think it was because of me. I also thought I was horribly ugly. I could barely stand to look at myself in a mirror. I was painfully shy too. I also thought that everyone lived like I did and when I realized that they did NOT I was very confused. I always knew that when "I grew up" I would not live like "that". Whatever "that" was. I was set on making a happy life for myself when I was in my teen years. In my mid 20's my first husband walked out on me and my ten month old son. My parents had been dead for many years by then. Crushing. I then met my current husband a few years later and life was finally good again. Then OUR son went off the rails at the age of 15. Life has a funny way of kicking your ass doesn't it? [/QUOTE]
