Abandonment Issues – Sherrie Campbell PhD

Tuesday Teachings

Abandonment syndrome is real. It results from not being able to count on those closest to us to be there with any predictability, stability or consistency. We are left constantly feeling as if the bottom could fall out at any minute, and no one will be there to lovingly and willingly support us.

It is impossible to develop trust in a family where we live each day having to cope with their unregulated moodiness, selfishness, and manipulation. We cannot feel safe when we never know where we stand. This type of hidden abuse creates abandonment syndrome.

When we suffer from abandonment syndrome, we live life walking delicately on eggshells. We overthink, over-care, and overdo to try and keep relationships. We desperately try not to be too much of something bad and not enough of something good.

To be placed in this type of position is emotional abuse at its finest. We have the right to stop this pattern of abandonment in our lives. We must set our boundaries and then fiercely stand by them.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
