I am sorry your parents said such hurtful things to you. It is sad that when people criticize or make comments like that it really cuts to the core and takes a gash into our self-esteem. Don't believe what they say. You are a very good, wonderful person. They would probably think I am a giant whale.

The other thing to this. None of us is perfect. You can search forever and never find the "perfect" person. I don't know why they want to push this perfectionism.

I am glad you went to therapy. You are a wonderful person and I hope things get better for you soon.
