Bam, I have lived a very insecure young life...and I have struggled with codependency for all of it.
my childhood was filled with fear and dread and my parents simply weren't capable of instilling in me, self-esteem...mother (codie) and father(alcoholic) battled amongst themselves for control and all of their 7 children struggle with low self-esteem.

what did I do?
I got myself into therapy in my late twenties and learned to like and accept and eventually love who I was...
I think confidence comes with doing and trying new things and things that challenge us.
I have always been a seeker, and spiritual from a young age...
my faith has and does heal my life..
great topic, hugs, Grateful
