"I was subject to fits of feeling myself unworthy…. It didn't take much to bring this sensation to life, along with the certainty that everybody but my mother saw through me and did not like what they saw."
This quote from the book explains Jack's feelings of guilt in Part One, Chapter 2. Throughout Jack's childhood, he is consistently having feelings of unworthiness. He is convinced that he is guilty for things he does not have control over, like being abandonded by his father and his mother's tendancy to be involved with abusive men.

i agree with your opinions about this passage. I understand why Jack does this to himself though, because most people tend to search for explanations about undefined issues, in Jacks situation there is almost no one else to blame.
