I feel a very strong ethical obligation to our children. I often worry about whether I've met that ethical obligation to them.
But when I'm thinking about that, I'm thinking about our kids, and what I have done and failed to do – I'm not thinking about "self worth". I feel guilty about some things – whether I should or I shouldn't – but my mind doesn't associate those feelings with the phrase "self worth".
