Oh boy. Man do I know that primal, lost, alone feeling very very well.
How that pain can reach out to us even all these years later is simply a mystery to me.
HF, I know this feels like the loneliest place in the world. I know you are re-experiencing so many hurtful things from your childhood. I know it's just grief laden on sorrow.
But a wise person on babble once told me that there are those who have traveled this road ahead of me. There are signposts along the way that have been left behind by those previous travelers.
You have come to one of those signpoints. You are on the right path. You are looking at what happened to you full on, with courage and a willingness to feel the pain you couldn't feel as a child.
I know it may not feel like it, but this will pass. It will get better in its time. You will not be stuck in this place.
The issues of safety and nurturance are such huge issues for me, and you too I bet (though we all have our special dragons to slay that are unique to us). These issues I'm sure you will address when the time comes.
Another thing that I'm also sure of is that you are a survivor. You have survived hell, now you can survive the aftermath. I bet you will thrive even.
In my opinion, sad as it may be, there is no one that can truly take away the loneliness of our journey. Only those that can promise to be with us as we go.
Peace to you my fellow traveler.
Seldom.
