This also brings back the feeling of separation anxiety and the fact that the child can begin to develop resentment towards the parent that has been imprisoned, resulting in the child having abandonment issues. A child who experiences abandonment is more prone to having long-term psychological challenges.(LaVigne) When they are physically abandoned they are more likely to have anger issues, and mood swings which can lead to issues with creating relationships with other people in the future.…
