Moral Injury of Abandonment
Moral injury is traumatic and may involve the loss of a sense of
Self (This is not who I am / I am a bad person)
Safety (I am not safe, others will reject me because of what I did)
Personal power (I had no choice or say in the matter)

Moral injury is defined as the profound psychological distress which results from actions, or the lack of them, which violate one’s moral or ethical code.
Abandonment means leaving, relinquishing or even choosing one over another.

Moral injury has multiple PACER impacts
