Pete Walker calls that feeling the "abandonment" depression ...
Pg. 5 ... "The abandonment melange is the fear and toxic shame that surrounds and
interacts with the abandonment depression. The
abandonment depression itself is the
deadened feeling of helplessness and hopelessness that afflicts traumatized children."
I've heard said that knowledge is half the battle ... I wish my newfound knowledge about
this could be a quick fix ... Alas ... As I said in an earlier haiku at a different thread:
and so we languish
and carry the anguish of
a loveless childhood
