one crucial part of healing from abandonment trauma is not only accepting, but embracing that you simply cannot and should not try to force people who have chosen not to associate with you, to do so.

this goes hand-in-hand with the ability to recognize that the lack of a response to you reaching out is indeed a response in and of itself. you are not owed a reply, and learning to let go will save you so much more hurt and rough feelings than you may have felt about the person making an exit from your life, to begin with.
