Thank you. I know He has answers...just dont know how to get to them. Ready to heal. I know what you mean. I remember the time when I wasn't. I've been in ready mode for about 7 years now. I thought this year was gonna be it because I took deliberate steps in the direction of getting help, but they weren't the steps I was "supposed" to take because all the doors closed. I am fine with that. I just want Him to hurry up.

Don't hedge or come up with nice words so that he won't get angry with you. He knows what you are saying in your heart and mind. As all the venom spews out...He will cover it with His blood and fill the empty place in your heart with so much love that it will amaze you.
This is what he used to help me, and my situation is different from yours but the feelings probably the same:
God used this opportunity to show me a bit of his sovereign nature.
He showed me where my will and another's will were at odds.
God, in his sovereignity loves his sons and daughters equally.
He will not let my will be done to the overriding of another person's will.
What he did show me is who I am and what I mean to him.
He promised to never leave me nor forsake me. This has covered my abandonment and rejection issues.
Romans 8:28 promises me that he is working all things [those both good and bad] for my good.
He called me according to his purpose:
He foreknew decisions I would make and that others would make.
He pre-destined me to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.
Hejustifies those he calls and glorifies them.
God didn't spare his son Jesus from the sufferring that His will could be accomplished in us so...
Why would God take away our sufferring to conform us to his will?
I ask you...Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or nakedness, or sword?
