How Trauma Wounds Manifest as Low Self Esteem

How is it possible for us to have high self-esteem when our parents were perfectly imperfect and couldn't be there for us? They couldn't take care of us because they were doing so many different things, but our defense mechanism is to blame ourselves.

There are things we have to accept we cannot change and will never be able to. It’s a step many hate, from feeling too vulnerable, but it’s better for us to. It makes walking out and/or preserving ourselves from them our only healthy and viable solution.
It allows us to respond, and stop reacting like we’ve always only been able to.
That’s also why, I think, being critical and holding our parent’s fairly accountable for what their choice of actions is absolutely necessary, in part to come to understand and accept that we don’t have the power we thought we had, that we in fact have no power over others only ourselves, and to fully realize that we had no responsibility in what happened to us.
We were victims to an immature parent, that used us. That’s hard to understand, and weird to accept.

" If the child is to blame, that means they can fix it."
"...still blaming themselves for how they couldn't get mom and dad's attention."
Hadn't quite gotten to that way of framing it, but yeah, that's awfully close to the mark, at least one of them- among many.

That phrase, 'perfectly imperfect'.. seems to annoy me every time i hear it. All humans are complete, that phrase to me sounds as you're speaking about special needs humans who never reached completion because of a genetic or birth issue. I think it's wiser to say we're perfect humans that have been damaged through life environments.
