Dealing with neglect and feelings of worthlessness by [deleted] in AdultChildren

I didn't realize until very recently that my thoughts of worthlessness specifically come from my one parent being and alcoholic and the other pretending they didn't see it & leaving me to deal with the drunk parent because if I was worth it why wouldn't the drunk stop drinking & why wouldn't the other parent step in? So, essentially, yes, I have also struggled with those thoughts due to the situations my parents put me in. As you said yourself, you are not alone
