I relate
by: Anonymous

I have been strugling with abandonment issues all my life. It has caused me alot of trouble. The most recent is my dad dying, and we were not close, they divorced when I was a very young child. I saw him off and on, but very superficial. He was probaly alcoholic. I have been thrown into grief, and it hurts, It is off and on, but I know it is the child in me, who is feeling os abandoned, and wishes so much that she had had a dad. But she did not get what most ittle girls got. Someone wo cared and showed it. So I have isolated myself afraid of getting close to anyone, always afraid I'd get hurt, adn guess what I am hurt. I hurt alot. I am glad I understand what i am going through, but it hurts so much, tell little Patti it is ok to cry to feel the pain, and sorrow of it all. I let myself feel these thing, but one day I feel ok and the next I am just out of it! There is a man that is on the perferials of my life too, who has triggered alot o stuff. I would like to be with him, but I don't trust. I ish I could, but I don't know how. It is like I have a ll up that protects me, but then I feel lonely. I want that wall removed, and maybe this grief can clear it all out. I have been in recoery for many years, and have felt alot of growth, but now it is like wall of pain wanting to overwhelm me. But it won't because, I know that I can work through it now. In the psst I did not know what was going on with me, why I felt like I did, but at leat nwo I do. That is progress. I can feel, and I can heal.

Grieving is good.
by: Con

Your writting made perfect sense to me.It seems like you are grieving the losses of your childhood. I to have grieved those losses of what should have been but wasn`t.I am always amazed at how much i have underestimated the amount of pain inside me from being emotonaly abandoned.I started my recovery over fifteen years ago and have finally finished healing the wounds of my childhood(DO YOU EVER FINISH?)only to find i am now in the process of grieving the adult years that i wasted in adiction running from that childhood pain.I wish i had a time machine and could go back and not loose my apprenticeship, not go to prison, not been so weak and selfish.But alas,Time waits for no man and i must keep going forward with hope in my heart.After the pain there is peace and serenity on the other side. Good luck on your journey.

Release to Spirit
by: Anonymous

Wow! Its sounds like you have excellent insight into what happened to you with the departure of your workmate. May I suggest that that you try to let these feelings move through you instead of holding on to them? A simple method is to put your hand over your heart and ask your higher power to release them. It only takes a minute or two and I get immediate relief. Thanks for sharing.
