Journal Entry for February 21, 2008 Mood
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Exhausted and sad tonight. New job going okay- working on numbers stuff...necessary but not fun and a bit fristrating when sets dont match. AJ is leaving skiing, I feel sad lost and very overwhelmed being left with my kiddos. Too much. I am lonely already and he hasnt walked out the door. I hate that. I hate being left behind. when I was a small girl I remember worrying that my mom or dad might not come back- that they would die while traveling...I still panic like that and feel it again now. I am not certain why I worry like this. I hate being left behind. He takes vacation I get extra work Yay me. I know I am glad he gets to go, dont get me wrong. I want him to do things, but all of it is hard for me. Poor baby poor whiny baby. I hate myself for all of these feelings.

    I went through therapy years ago because I was in a relationship and felt the same way you do. They called it abandonment issues. According to the therapist, it's because my father was away so much and as I child I never really believed that he would come back - even though he did, everytime. Whether that was true or not, I don't know - but I do know that it helped me to see things in a different light - I had control over my feelings. Good luck, hope you feel better. Hugs Faith

    I also have abandonment issues. My father would leave my mother alone to go on fishing trips when I was a child. I always feared that he was leaving her and never coming back because they argued so much and my mother had problems dealing with it.
    I think it helps if you look back at past issues, sometimes it helps to put things into perspective.
    Maybe you could plan a fun outing with the boys and create a special memory that only the three of you can share?
    Hugs,
    Robin
