It's really sad that some parents are guilty of being the source of their kid's low self esteem. They have failed in their duties in raising confident, capable and independent individuals.
It's really a pity what that child suffered in the hands of his mother. It wasn't his fault that he was born, so why put the blame on him.
The impact of low self esteem is much - depression, anxiety, even self-loathing. I don't wish this for anyone.
I don't wish this for anyone as well o. May God grant parents the wisdom to raise independent and courageous kids.
