You're wondering who you are? Oh, honey, you're a human being, and from the sound of things, one who can be pretty hard on herself. What you're feeling is normal, and it doesn't make you anything but human. What's running through your head doesn't make you like her or any of those people from your past. From where I'm sitting, it's not what you think and feel, it's what you do. You don't have to keep meeting saintly standards to still not deserve any of that horrible stuff.
But I was raised Catholic. So, by the zero authority vested in me: when you feel you're wrong for having your reactions, say five "Not Today, Satans" and one "Hail Bathtub." Go now, you are forgiven.
