Hey, that was helpful. I think I'm dealing with a little of that myself -- though not nearly so bad. So I have to thank you for posting about the abandonment thing.

Abandonment to someone with this illness can mean something as simple as being gone at work too long, or using a tone of voice that reminds her of a parent who emotionally had checked out during her childhood.

Um yeah. It's gotten better over the years, at least until the S took place. Ex-bf used that tone of voice a lot and it sent me into an emotional roller coaster. I had to end it, but it's going to take some time to get over.
