Eleanor Scott on Facing her Fear of Abandonment in www.Guardian.com

Christine Cissy White 5/25/162:33 PM

I love this essay about adult love and childhood abandonment.

Maybe we are parenting and helping our children through grief and loss due to death, divorce, desertion or abandonment. Maybe we've been there ourselves.

Children often can't or won't verbalize what they are thinking or feeling at the time. Maybe we read it in their body language. Maybe we need to ask.

And sometimes it's just wonderful to read about the real lives of complex people doing such as being brave in love.

This part makes me laugh, not because it's funny but because it's true for so many. And working through this urge to run, can be so rewarding and so difficult.

"Yet the more time we spent together, the more I felt the need to break it off. He was charming and sweet, constantly cracking jokes that only we understood and giving me small compliments on more than just my appearance." Complete article link.
