Hi, I'm 30 years old. I have built a successful life for myself. I am single, own two homes, work full-time, have earned two bachelor's degrees and two master's degrees. Yet, I still feel extrememely depressed due to my mother abandoning me when I was 3 years old. I still remember waking up in the middle of the night as a toddler and looking around the house for her, thinking she was only hiding. By the time I got to kindergarten, it had sunk in that she was never coming back for me. How can I get over this pain? I think it affects my dating relationships. I've had several long-term (3+ years) relationships with men but I always sabotage them by breaking up, often for no good reason. I always feel restless, like I have to constantly change my environment (shopping, moving, breaking up, going back to college, etc.). I can not afford professional therapy (too busy paying for the houses and student loans -- LOL!!!) but I'm crying my eyes out, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
