Children of Addicted Parents and People

Hello, I have just joined the site. Both my parents were alcoholics and though they don't drink anymore. I just feel rotten inside-I hate everything about my self. Feel like my life is a mess and whatever I try seems to fail. I know that because of what I've seen and experienced it is effecting my life but I don't know where to go next. I've lost jobs, opportunities because I think they'll turn out really bad. I always expect the worse. Does anyone else feel like this??? I feel like I'm haunted with too many images in my head- I never want to jump in on things-as I worry about making a mistake. Sorry-not much of a positive introduction from me! ; ) Trac197
