Sure you do, Jodi. You're just using the wrong scale!
I have always felt not good enough, but after my ‘illness’ my family has had to do so much to care for me and help raise my son. How could I not feel like a burden? I never finished college and I have both a brother and sister with more than one master degree each. I don’t add up.
Jane you r not ugly. We just live in a world of silence. My ex destroyed my life but at the end of the day, I was the Mom and Dad for a good 18yrs if not more.
