Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Do you think the women will have abandonment issues after Deborah is gone? She represented all the fear and hurt that many of the women were expressing, coming from their own troubled childhood, especially the fathers.

How will Jennier handle it? Will she just be glad she is gone, or relate it to her own father leaving her when she was young? Kim too, she was young when her father left. I hope the ladies can learn from this, and it not be a stumbling block for them.

I was in a situation with a group of women seeking help. I befriended one lady. She was there on her own, and just wanted to sleep! I got to talking with her, and we really connected, and she opened up. The next few days she was gone! She said that it was getting too real for her, and she had to leave. I felt so responsible for her leaving, I felt so bad! The counselors said it wasn't my fault, she had her own issues to deal with. They were right, but I did not see it at the time.

I hope the ladies in the house don't blame themselves for Deborah choosing to leave.
It got too real for her, and she couldn't face her problems head on.

Hi hsmom!

Are you saying D was a man figure for the girls???

I know you weren't! just kidding.

I don't see any reason why they would feel anything from her leaving. There are reasons for D's demise, she brought it on for the honesty & lying issues. They weren't originally connected to D.

My vote is "No"!

I see where you are coming from hsmom. I wonder too. I think that they finally agve up on her and that was a major problem. WHy deal with someone if you can't get along with them? IT is a hard situation plus the pressure of the world knowing what is going on in that house too.

All i can say is wow......
