“Running Away from Relationships : The Silent Struggle

Running away from a relationship often stems from a mix of fear, pain, and unresolved emotions. It’s not just about avoiding someone; it’s about evading vulnerability, confrontation, or deeper truths about oneself.

Fear plays a significant role—fear of commitment, fear of rejection, or fear of losing independence. Sometimes, people run because the intensity of emotions feels overwhelming, or they’re haunted by past scars they haven’t healed from. They may also feel unworthy of love, projecting insecurities onto the relationship.

However, fleeing doesn’t resolve the underlying issues. Instead, it creates a cycle of loneliness and regret. Building healthy relationships requires courage—courage to communicate, face discomfort, and embrace imperfections, both in oneself and others.

Running might seem like the easiest option, but true growth lies in staying, understanding, and healing together. Every relationship offers a mirror to our soul; perhaps what we’re running from is not the relationship, but ourselves.”

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 ..
