Reading people's posts here has been "therapeutic" for me because I realized I don't have superfreaky abandonment and trust issues... Unless we all do? It's natural. We're in pain and we want to believe in it. It's not just me...

I think fear of abandonment is probably fairly central to the human condition. I am sure some people have it worse than others. I am also sure it's something any therapist could point to for anyone and have it be somewhat true. Humans are social animals. Abandonment = death.
As for trust issues, again, we are social animals heavily reliant on language which is a perfect tool for lying or obfuscating the truth. Trust issues are in most cases, common sense.
