Orphan Archetype   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #45149 of 48244 |
Hi all,

I was wondering if I could ask anyone who has an Orphan archetype and who
has made their peace with it to share how they managed to 'grow up' and if
anything positive can come of the Orphan archetype, or if I am being too
'Pollyanna' and looking at it in too simplistic a way. I have a strong
Orphan, and have recognised the shadow side of it in me too, which is to
become clingy, put people on pedestals or seek to be adopted by surrogate
parent figures. It's painful and lonely not to have a close, trusting
relationship with any older, parental individual, but I am determined to
work through this. I would really appreciate your insights.

xx
Kristy.
