Does anyone else have abandonment issues? How do you deal with them?

Anonymous
Mine started after a horific tragedy left me on my own out of nowhere. Now I'm in a new relationship and I have this completely illogical and unwarranted feeling that as soon as I start to love her, she'll pack up and leave with no warning, and I'll never see her again. It's kinda making me push her away.

She's given me no reason to think that and has actually proven the opposite, but with my badly damaged psyche, it's a feeling I can't shake. No matter what I tell myself.
(Also, I haven't talked to her about this, but I know she'd understand. I just don't want to start drama)

Does anyone else have abandonment issues, and if so how do you deal with it?
Or if not, any advice you might know of?

Thank you
