Experiences of abandonment leave us full of loneliness, fear and self-loathing.” <br /><br />I'd never thought of myself as an orphan, but this so perfectly describes me and my life. <br /><br />Reading the above comments it seems there are many of us.

I came across a passage that said, "God adopts us according to his good purpose", not the evil purpose I had come to know and it was comforting.

I believe that pain is pain and loss is loss whether or not you had a good childhood. The good news is that the Lord will see you through. My heart aches for victims of abuse and alcoholism. A few of my own friends had a childhood like that and still are struggling with it today.
