Abandonment Issues: A Thread

Sometimes, when we get close to a person and that person walks away, we feel a stabbing at our hearts like we’ve lost someone forever even though we know it’s not “forever” just for a short period of time. This feeling of abandonment can really-

trigger a lot of negative thoughts and emotions within us that shows our inability to want to be alone. Usually, this is caused by neglectful parents or abandonment of a parental figure, but it could also be triggered by people coming in and out of our lives at early ages,-

making us feel like we are not worthy to be around. However, that is not the case at all. People come and go for reasons and they were only supposed to be here for a season or a year or two but you want to keep them around so you don’t feel that pain again.-

Pain is a form of growth because, without it, we wouldn’t learn what we should and should not do. Look at the situation from a different perspective if you can. If someone leaves, think of it as it was their time to go and for us to part ways and it is no one’s fault. -

Think of it as a lesson or chapter closing in your life that will make way for a new lesson or chapter on self-discovery. Overcoming abandonment issues isn’t easy at all, but it is worth it to heal that trauma.
