[quote=Anonymous]If so, how has it affected your personality and your relationships with other people? My family was abandoned by my mother. I was 7 years old and my father was very cold, critical and emotionally unavailable. I've been in therapy many times throughout my life and I feel I've made improvements. However I do notice that with new people I tend to default to this feeling of being disliked/unlovable. I can be very guarded and I think sometimes it comes off as cold or snobby but in reality I feel wary of new people and afraid of being hurt. Can others who have faced parental abandonment weigh in on how it has affected them?[/quote]
