I thought your words "I barely like myself " were
very important. I was severely abused by both parents and your damn right I don't forgive them!
What I DID DO,was work like hell on my lack of
self-esteem to such an extent that parents are of
no consequence whatsoever! I am so far ABOVE
them, I don't give a s---t!
Do work on your self-esteem,it will change your whole perspective,
and you WILL like yourself ! I strongly, MOST
STRONGLY, recommend the psychologist
Nathaniel Branden's books,he is the accepted expert
on self-esteem and changed my life. Here is a couple of titles to start you off: "The Six Pillars of
Self-Esteem" and "Honoring The Self " Please do
invest in dear self.
Kind Regards,
