Again, my worth is diminished because I am alone. I am worthless. I am unloved. But more importantly, I am incapable of being loved because I am worthless and alone. See the cycle? It took years of beating myself up and a few really abusive relationships to finally break out of this way of thinking. I hope my kids never feel like that. I will try to help them understand they are valuable just as they are. They are loved just as they are. They are beautiful just as they are.
