Fear of Abandonment - Georgia boy
What about abondonment.. from a girlfriend? Why does it seem so hard to just let go and move on for me, and so easy for her?
It is difficult when your partner has abandonment issues. How can you cope?
Then there is the other side of the coin, the people who are in relationship with us "fear of abandonment" messes. Whew! I am so thankful for my husband (my third). He was the only one able to handle me and my stuff. (I'm all better now, thank you!)

Child Abandonment
This depression chat rooms page was inspired by a woman who has been step-mother of a boy for five years, since he was 5 years old. He was abandoned by his mother and he "acts out".
My heart goes out to all of them, as I work with adults who suffer from the unresolved wounds of abandonment. I'd like to support the care givers of abandoned kids with some practical ways they can help these kids...before they end up like us!
I have so many ideas that might help someone in her position, with some way a caring adult could help a child move through some of the heart-ache.
Then I chickened out. I had a hard time imagining normal people talking a kid through such intense things -- like I do in sessions with adults. It might be asking too much of them.
I'm thinking I'd like to get a professional to offer some ideas, or maybe I'll interview an art therapist. I'm sorry to let it dangle like this.
Maybe you have something you can share to help this page along.
