Abandonment
Have a read of this story – http://awareofawareness.com/2014/04/25/the-beauty-of-abandonment/
The girl had no choice but to deal with her father’s abandonment.
She has to go through all the stages of grief.
Otherwise she would go mad and some do.
Nevertheless she is scarred for life.
He on the other hand can’t reconcile with her because of his guilt. It always gets in the way.
Unfortunately she wants him in a way that doesn’t allow him to bypass his guilt.
I suspect that, without her father around, she fell right under the tree of her mother. Which is what he sees in her.
And her mother reflected the sins of his parents, which is why he was attracted to her in the first place.
And so it goes on.
We humans live in this merry-go-round of emotional trauma, struggling to inch ourselves out of the slime that we inherit.
And this effort is hampered by our inability to see ourselves clearly no matter how clearly we can see others.
Caravan park anyone?
