Hi Kasey,
I don't know you or your situation (beyond what you describe here--and you write eloquently), so I hope I'm not being presumptuous. I've experienced what you describe, and I would guess that everyone has--that doesn't make it easier, but it does suggest that all the negative programming in our lives comes from people in our past but not from our true selves.
So here's a Ray Davies-Bruce Springsteen collaboration of Kinks original to point you toward hope and light if you need it.
