Ugh indeed Little.

Im sorry to hear about what you went through in your childhood, none of that can have been easy to process and I certainly know about dealing with feeling abandonment. Didnt have anything of your kind of seriousness but one parent was away with work and the other had constant illness growing up, grandparents lived with us but saw mother and i as some sort of domestics.

Pretty much been self sufficient since 7 or 8 although when my mum was around she spoiled me, made her death from cervical cancer in her early forties much worse for me. As I said nothing of the nature you had but does give me an insight.

I think in my case it led to the pursue/push away circumstance hurting all the more and, as you say, having the other partner plan to exit with plenty of time to adapt to the idea then spring it on you makes it all the harder to take.

You are not alone, we may be just people at the end of a forum post but we can listen and we have a lot of pairs of ears smile

Again, take care.
