Why do I fear abandonment?!
Question:
Why do I fear abandonment?
I usually only open up to those closest to me. After I do open up, I become very sensetive and can get hurt easily. I moved around a lot as a child, and suffered physical abuse from some of my mothers ex boyfreinds. Could this have something to do with it? Do I need help?
Answers:
Yes, that has almost everything to do with it. Remember, almost. The moving around you did as a child caused you to have to continually leave friends and also have to be the new kid a lot. Also, the physical abuse affected you mentally as a child (which sticks with you your whole life). You get hurt easily because you're scared of what else could happen-and you know what can happen. Counseling is always a great option to help deal with things like physical abuse that happened during childhood-it will help you to let go of some of that pain you suffered. This could be entirely off though as I do not know you.
