You have us abandoned/neglected????
How can we translated in the Spanish sense?
When sb goes to work and spends a lot of time outside the house, and doesn´t pay much attention to us.

Is that translation OK?

Without the total context, how would this translation for "nos tienes abandonados" work for you?

"You have abandoned us"

Entiendo "nos has abandonado" pero no me confunde "nos tiene abandonado". nunca he visto "tener" con el participio pasado

Do you understand "he has us abandoned"?

Does it make sense in English?

HUY! Nos tienes abandonados

Ya entiendo , abandonados no es el participio pasado sino un adjetivo

He has us abandoned
You have us abandoned

Me suena raro en inglés, yo diría algo así

We feel abandoned (keeping abandoned an adjective) by you
