When I was a kid, I had a fear that my parents would never come pick me up and leave me somewhere forever. My babysitter was always late picking me up in Kindergarten and I developed the fear that I was going to be left.
A distinct memory I have occurred at the public library when I was probably in first grade. My mom must have taken me to a story time where you leave your kid there and roam the bookshelves while they are being entertained. I'm sure she told me where she was going to be and that she'd be back. After a while, I panicked and started searching for her (why they let me leave is beyond me .) I couldn't find her and went to the front desk and they paged her over the intercom. My mom quickly came and held me tight and said she was sorry and that she'd never just leave me.
I do not have this fear anymore:)
