Self esteem issues in middle childhood can have long-lasting effects on middle aged children researchers say. [|self esteem research]. Many times throughout a child's developing years a single devastating situation can have several negative effects such as a low self worth score, trouble interacting with other children. I experienced this first hand with my brother. It all started in 1995 when my parent got divorced. My dad was never at home always out for days at a time we all knew it was drugs, but we never could see what was going to happen next. Me my brother and my mom came home from a road trip to my grandparents house. When we walked in the door everything was gone. I mean everything pots, pans, appliances, beds and even my brother and I's toys and clothes. My father had sold everything in less than a week just to have another fix. That was the last straw for my mother we turned and got straight back into the car and drove back to my grandparents house. Ever since that night my brother has never been the same he has nightmares very poor self worth, and the lowest self esteem of any 25 year old man I've seen. He always thinks some one is talking about him or making fun anytime we go out in public he thinks he is the subject of everyone's conversation. Finally we took my bother to our family doctor and he sent us over to his friend at the center of mental health in Tallahassee. Dr Middlemus. Shortly after seeing my brother the doctor concluded that my brother suffered from PTSD, and that has a huge effect on his self worth.
