'I got drawn to non-duality because I don't like myself' Listener question

I've just listened to your podcast on "Unconditional Love".  Can you say a little about how to parent our inner child?  One of the reasons I was drawn to non duality was that I liked the idea of there being no self.  This is largely because I don't like myself.  Thru the years of listening I realize this isn't at all what it's trying to point to.  As with the previous writers' child, I too have a lot of suicidal ideation.  This might be too large a topic for a podcast, but maybe there's a few things you could say about it.
