Jesse James appeared on Nightline last night, and didn't hold back on revealing everything from being a victim of child abuse to his lack of self worth. The 41-year-old also described what led to him to destroy his fairy-tale marriage to Sandra Bullock.

In the candid and tearful interview, James says:

    "I grew up with a huge amount of shame and fear and abandonment on my shoulders from a very young age and I think, you know, the way my mind rationalized [cheating], 'Well, you know, I might as well do whatever I can to like run her off cause she is going to find out what I am anyway and leave me anyway."


As for what motivated him to cheat on his Oscar-winning wife:

    "The struggle within myself for the things that I did ...to damage marriage and my life and everything else, it's all me. I'm doing it because, you know, I've basically never felt good enough for anyone."


Sandra Bullock is currently seeking a divorce from James whom she married on July 16, 2005.
