Abandonment Culture

In dysfunctional families, abandonment culture takes on many forms of abandoning family members rather than having a sense of compassion, love and responsibility for one another. Abandonment culture can also be a part of society as a whole, having no sense of social responsibility for people living in poverty, homelessness, etc...
"We dropped grandma off at the nursing home because she's getting old. We're keeping abandonment culture alive and well."
"Your brother is down on his luck and is facing homelessness? He can't live with us, keeping abandonment culture strong."
"You're about to turn 18, we have no sense of family so I have to kick you out now as abandonment culture is a part of this defective family."
"You're pregnant, don't expect me to be there for this child. I plan on establishing abandonment culture in this family immediately."

Hole Digging And Abandonment 

The phenomenon where road workers tear up a street and then never repave it; when people dig a hole to fix something in the street and never refill it

(also used for freeways and any other place road work was started and then left unfinished.)
Steve: Don't go down Pine Road.
Marvin: Why? They should be done the roadwork there by now.
Steve: Nah, they never finished it. It's hole digging and abandonment at its best.

Abandonment 

Your darkest fear. If you feel like you might be abandoned, tell the person that you think might abandon you about it or seek professional help with a therapist. Take my advice as a friend who won´t abandon you, but is there for you even if I´m not there.
You: I´m worried about abandonment and everyone I know leaving me...
Me: Don´t worry, I´ve got your back, internet stranger!
