I struggle greatly with these words and concepts. As a parent I feel like I act these things out rather than feel them. There are times where this "acting" becomes apparent and I feel like I am revealed as an imposter. I hope what I have been able to give my children is "enough".

But for myself I don't feel a connection to any of those things. At the core of me I am not worthy of offering them to another person.
This internal shame and unchallengeable unworthiness is one of the primary reasons I am in therapy. Intellectually I don't believe I am any more unworthy than any one else. But emotionally it is an undeniable truth of my being. I don't want it to be this way forever.
