Attempts to control me are big.
Indifference can be big.
It's all about which threat my brain perceives today.
You've just about hit the nail on the head for me there too Kendyll. My adaptation to the abandonment issue is however very tied up with the object constancy thing, so I'll grieve/be angry very fiercely for a comparatively short time, then bottle it up & the "unreal-ness" of the person takes over in my mind, which helps me cope with the crippling emotions.
It's an odd one, because I can be seen as very uncaring...
