Just that really, how to overcome self-hatred? My earliest experiences & memories are of rejection/cruelty. My dm wanted to abort me but her parents religion forbade it. That feeling of hatred is written through my dna. How d'you overcome it?

You are ok as you are, you are enough, you are as good as anyone else. We’re all human. It’s bad beliefs (not yours you inherited them) that are making you feel bad, they are not true.
I suggest get some counselling, CPD to change how you think about yourself, listen to positive and uplifting things online.
List your good qualities and appreciate them.
Don’t believe the lies that your parents issues have left you with.

Not sure, OP. I’m struggling with that myself. But here’s some flowers. Neither of us should hate ourselves, but it’s easier said than done to change that. Flowers
