I was merely commenting that in this instance Christ did nothing by way of agency that would cause Heavenly Father to withdraw from Him. Rather Heavenly Father's withdrawl was voluntary as part of the atonement because Christ's perfect life never would have allowed it otherwise.

So yes I guess I was commenting on the atonement and how being "forsaken" here was a necessary element which is inconsequential to your thoughts on the personal separation you have experienced. My apology.

Gotcha. No problem.
