Chapter Twelve: The Abusive Father Who Never Came Back

Russell Tellup describes a childhood of abuse that taught him to disappear, followed by 25 years of estrangement before his father’s death from COVID. The grief that finally arrives is grief for closure, an apology that will never happen. He begins healing by recovering memories, recognizing lifelong survival mode, and practicing re-parenting, brainspotting, parts work, and self-hypnosis. Still carrying scars, he no longer abandons himself and now supports clients in co-regulated, body-first healing.
