Re: quote from demi moore people magazine january 16th

[Guest guest]

Oh, Alana, I can so relate to the part about something being fundamentally wrong

with me, that I am unloveable. Yes, she is right that you have to love yourself

first. That's been a lifelong struggle for me, and finally, I'm beginning to

make some headway. After my husband told me as he left that only he could ever

put up with me, either I had to fight to learn that I was loveable, or I was

going to literally die of the pain of his words on top of my belief of my

worthlessness.

I have always thought that I must be the only one who ever felt that way. Though

I'm sorry that anyone feels unloveable, it's comforting to know there are people

other than me who've been there.
