How do I Date as an Empath—w: both Abandonment & Enmeshment Issues?

I’m in my late 20s and haven’t really been able to find love. I tend to attract emotionally unavailable men. I also have a hard time letting these men go emotionally, while intellectually I’m well past it.

I had a bit of a rough childhood. My relationship with my mom was more of a, “Do as I say, not as I do.”

She was emotionally manipulative and didn’t respect my boundaries.

When my parents separated briefly (I was 5) my dad left the home for a while and then came back and they were able to patch things up.

As a child, I felt it was my fault and changed my behavior and became more accommodating.

I’m craving connection, but I often find myself alone.

I think I have a fear of abandonment and would rather just be alone than get left.

Do you have any words of wisdom to help me move forward in a healthy way?

I would love to get unstuck.
