Dear Lindsey:

You are welcome.

“My goals: improve the anxiety/abandonment attachment that I have (not sure how to do that- you can only talk and get support from your partner to a limited degree)” – best way to do it would be in quality psychotherapy. I wonder if a low-cost quality therapy is available to you.

If you could talk about your anxiety regarding your real-life experience of being abandoned by your mother, kicked out of the house, if I remember correctly, and about her not being there for you otherwise; if you could talk about it in therapy, and feel how you felt then… and cry, express how it felt then, when the events were fresh and most painful, it can free you from some of the anxiety you currently feel in regard to being abandoned by Jason.

You are welcome to share about it here on your thread (with emphasis on how you felt back then) if it helps, or privately in a journaling exercise, your choice.
