The human, primary core fear is abandonment. This can be triggered as early as in the womb by a birth mother who considers an abortion, or even by a father who voices doubts about wanting the baby. In sessions, I’ve had disassociated infant parts tell me they could hear their father say, “I don’t want that baby!”
If you don’t believe a fetus is aware of the parent’s emotions, and you want a biblical example instead of proven science, just read Luke 1: “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth exclaimed; “Blessed are you among women…As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.” But God heals. We see a perfect example in the story of Jabez. In 1 Chronicles, he’s listed in the genealogy of Abraham but his father’s name isn’t mentioned at all, so it’s believed his father may have been killed. His mother named him Jabez (pain) because “she bore him in pain.” This word “pain” translated, can refer to physical pain, like labor, but it mainly refers to psychological and emotional pain. Later, Jabez calls out to God, saying “Oh that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand might be with me, to keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” And God gave him what he asked for. Jabez had grown up without a father, but he called upon God to act as his Father, to give him an inheritance and keep him safe, and God answered! The spirit of abandonment wants you to feel like you are alone, rejected, unworthy, and it will even make you feel abandoned by God. But we don’t have to live a lifetime of abandonment traumas because of what a parent did or didn’t do. God heals, and everything is redeemable under the blood of Jesus
