Child Abandonment Issues and How You Can HelpChild abandonment issues CAN be helped If you are in a close relationship with a child with abandonment issues, there are ways that you can help them. Understand that their experience of abandonment is like a tripped circuit or blown fuse in their mental, emotional, physical, and spirit systems. A lot of their "higher power" has been shut down...literally not available to them. But this can be greatly improved, and it isn't necessarily difficult.
