Yes--the other thing is self esteem. My father made me feel totally inadequate growing up--i have learned, slowly, that I am a worthy human being, but I still beat myself up a lot and v]blame myself for lots of things and am harder on myself than anyone...I do a ton of volunteer work and taught for 41 years helping kids, but I still need every day to help someone to validate my worth as a person--silly, but that is how i am...self worth is a huge issue for children of addicts!
