Is it true that in the Ramayana, Rama abandons Sita after she returns from captivity in Lanka?

Yes. A reference article on Kusha states that in the Uttara Kanda Rama had the pregnant Sita left at Valmiki's hermitage because of public condemnation over her captivity in Lanka, and a peer-reviewed paper notes Rama rejected Sita after recovering her from Lanka.
