If you have abandonment wounds from childhood or issues, you confine yourself drawn to people who don't treat you well. Thiss also falls into the category of sabotaging relationship's doing something that you know is going to make the other person end the relationship if you can't do it a and just finding a way to end it. I had found myself in relationship with people who were uavailable in a very similar way to the way that my father was unavailable. And again, this is what i call, youknow, repeating relationship reality, where it's very familiar for me. It was familiar back then, before i had a lot of therapy, to be with someone who was not available
Do you find that you attach unusually quickly to people, whether in friendships or romantic relationships?

In this episode, I’m helping you recognize the signs of abandonment issues in adult relationships and reviewing the most common causes of chronic fear of abandonment.
