It is important to remember that adults who criticize or hurt children (in any way) are responsible for their actions. Children simply cannot cause adults to harm them. The conclusions children draw generally include ideas about unworthiness. It is so essential to realize that you are not now and most certainly were not unworthy as a child. I am sorry that happened and hope you will work to remember that adults who cross boundaries (emotional or otherwise) with children are responsible for their actions. A child cannot be and you are not.
