I struggle with abandonment issues with Adoption and always have. Adoptees are more apt to experience abandonment issues all their lives.


This doesn't mean that Abandonment issues have to over power me. It is not an EXCUSE

  • to react or explain why i act the way i do.

  • I am responsible for my reactions and action s.

I have underlined what I struggle with abandonment issues.


Here are some of the symptoms of

Abandonment


a.a please others , a “people pleaser

b.giving too much in relationships.

c.an inability to trust others.

d.pushing others away to avoid rejection.

e.feeling insecure in romantic partnerships and friendships. codependency.


This issue is felt by adoptees and explains why they respond the way they do to abandonment.

I know that


I am more than a conquer through him who loves me.

Romans 8:37


I crossed reference Psalms 142 that was given to me.

Scripture is powerful.



You are my refuge my portion in the land of the living.


vs 5 stood out


8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Isaiah 43:2


This verse helps me

Joshua 1:8

Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you


He will not fail you or forsake you.”

verse one speaks volumes. It is comforting.


As an adult I understand abandonment issues . The little girl inside me care and reassuring words that she is going to be good.


As I continue to get older the message off love and reassuring words help me.


I have to watching when I am over tired.

I tend to walk away when I know that this happens to me. Church and prayer and things that set me off.


The fact that I have shared my heart means that I am doing better.


As a young girl, I cried a lot. As a teenager I blew up.


Now as a adult adoptee I tell you that I struggle with abandonment. I have to watch

I know what my weaknesses are.

Today I have let you know what I struggle with.
