Losing a T can feel exactly like grieving the death of a parent, a spouse or even a beloved pet. Heart wrenching. I think your grief should be treated as such. It is exceptionally hard for us, for those, who have some type of attachment and abandonment issues.
I can actually feel your pain. All I have to do is think about when it is time to lose mine.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
