but this fear of abandonment/feeling incabale of being loved crap...well, you know the results.... > I think the real core of our problem is that we were both wounded when we were young in ways that made us believe, deep down, that we were somehow so defective that we were incapable of being loved.
This really hits home for me.
I believe that the "test of fire" that "piecing" requires of us, leads to a warrior's heart.
