As painful as the possibility of abandonment is, I truly think that all of us have the strength to deal with it. It's the 'fear' part that is so incredibly debilitating because it carries so much baggage for many of us, when or if it comes you are essentially presented with the fact. And as survivors of child abuse, etc. we have been through much, much worse than simply losing a therp. My intention isn't to belittle the fear of abandonment, it's to examine what is really happening- and that is the recognition that what we have experienced is in the past, we have survived it, and nobody can take that away from us. I hope this made sense.
take care, judy
