    Wow😭😭 with my abandonment issues being thrown away as a baby and later adopted. To being this woman and mom that attract men and Friends with abandonment issues as well. The problem with me no matter how bad people treat me I can't find it in my heart to hate them. I will still do for them despite of what they did to me. I pray and ask God why my heart won't grow hard and cold. In fact my heart gets bigger and warmer not sure of my purpose in life but I stand here with a lot of war wounds that needs healing

      Hey sis! Thanks for sharing! I'm so sorry that happened to you. Every child deserves to be loved and kept. I hope you are well and were well taken care of by your adoptive family. I want to share that I have learned during this journey that boundaries are key to being healthy and having healthy relationships. I'm sorry to hear that you have been wounded and sounds like you feel obligated to keep your heart open to abusive people. I want to recommend the ALL CEUs channel here on TH-cam and the topic of healthy boundaries in general. I believe both will be a blessing to you and I'll be praying for our healing (I'm on the journey too)!

    I appreciate this video/podcast so much. Growing up my relationship with my dad was very unstable and my mom would work 3-4 jobs at a time to keep us above water. So during this podcast I went back to the memory of my mom trying to drop me off at school in the morning and this paralyzing fear overwhelming my body and I would cry and beg for her not to leave. As an adult I can now see how this has affected many of my relationships now. I appreciate this conversation so much and really considering looking into therapy to make real change in my life. ❤️👏🏼❤️👏🏼❤️

    Great information. First real relationship at 44. Never felt worthy of one (dead-end jobs). Her finally dumping me because of it has been the most devestsated I've ever felt and that's saying a lot. In therapy and read dozens of books in the last few months. Seeing her with my replacement has been a huge setback but I'm more motivated than ever to quit underachieving in life. That's a positive out of all of this.

    We were separated from our mother due to her alcohol and drug problems and slung into foster care 3 different homes up to the point of adoption until our family came and got us took us south. This was the move until my mother passed the programs to get us back which she kept failing bc of her habits severity. My dad also went to prison for murder but it was self defense never met him til I was 12 and he came at me like an angry mad man. Mom got us back participating in compliance instead of true healing only to continue doing the same thing but we were around family this time and we were somewhat older and we’re able to take care of ourselves to a point. This video is really lifting something off of me and lifting me up at the same time I really needed this. We were poor and it was 9 of us this life is movie and book worthy. Thank you so much 🙏🏾 You have no idea how this greatly this changes paradigms. I listened to this 3 times on my 3rd now. Thank you again!

I have had abandonment my whole life. From parents that were more concerned with accumulation of stuff to loss of frienships and love interests.

I overcame so much, and I truly thank you for this advice. I definitely want to be in therapy, but it is just not in my budget. I use videos on TH-cam to gain an understanding of my trauma and work through it as I heal. This is definitely one that I will save when I need some advice.🤎

These issues still come up especially when I am like someone to have a relationship with and I have to fight with myself in my mind to heal . I don’t want to
    walk around with these open wounds and sabotage in my own relationships that I truly desire and that I want to be loved. Therpy has helped a lot and having people like you do series like this means a lot to me. Thank you so much.

Although the defining events happened in my adulthood and not my childhood, this could still be the contributor to my abandonment issues, correct?

    Hi I love your content could you do a video on how to deal with an emotionally unavailable partner? And also on someone who’s an “hyper rule setter” I’m not sure of a term for that but and example is telling kids to choose between having a fan on or having the tv on at night and it’s mid summertime. Making a child feel punished and they didn’t do anything for one or the other privilege to be taken away. I guess, control issues is the term? God bless
