Thanks Dawn for your kind words. Your story did truly resonate with me on a deep level and opened by eyes to things I would've ignored or denied, or not even noticed. It often confuses me the pattern of abandonment, as it isn't obvious or straightforward, yet is a constant underlying tread in one's life. I do hope to write some more on these issues, from different angles. It's great to have another's perception and perspective to inform. I wrote a lot about "wholeness" but there is a lot more to understand about it, and write, and maybe relate it to other areas such as "freedom amd destiny", as in Psychotherapy, where when we become embodied in our experiences, fully acknowledging them, not denying etc, only then can we transcend the "givens" of our life, those things that were never in our control to start with.
