For children, loss of family through divorce, is a permanent loss. They can never return to "home". What happens when a child loses their step mom because their dad divorces and then they lose their step dad because their mom divorces? They essentially have lost the family of origin, the family of step mom's house, the family of step dad's house. This is insane loss.

If you have been squandered, tell someone...
You matter. You do not have to experience this, alone. Lover’s Squander... I feel so much rejection, In your haste I feel cast down… Unseen… Thrown into your can of waste. You stripped me, And then you said “no, I am chaste”. I reached for you, Your pillow was empty. You were gone … You were gone, to her place. My heart ached, My soul turned into paste. ©2012 jan leree He is screaming …
over the pitch of every wind… telling me how important, how important, I am to Him. He is singing … At the top of His range Through many voices… To tell me, I matter… I matter to Him. He is whispering … At the top of his lungs, Through someone close in my life… Telling me, how special I am… to Him. ©2012 jan leree We have all experienced the loss of a loved one, in life circumstance, depression, addiction or in the fragility of death.
The night roars down upon me … You turn aside … ears remotely tuned in to mute … What do I do? When the cry of your recluse, Is louder than the cry of my heart? It’s as if my cries are removed from the room. Why does none of this compute? Tell me the place on earth Where we are not so far apart … There I will go, And I will carry along my heart. The night roars down upon me … And you, into sleep are far removed. You once offered covering … Now, it’s as if you yourself are buried. You slipped over the edge of the earth, Sailing past, into the last isle of the sea. You say not good by … You say not, my name as you leave. © 2011 jan leree
