Acceptance

[smplunkett]

I am working on acceptance with my divorce - I was married to a narcissist who led a double life. I have cried, pleaded, and begged for relief from the pain and confusion. I feel as if I am coming out of a fog - and most times feel happy and relieved to be out of it. I am tired of having to explain to people what he was really like - he is a master con man. I just need to remember that acceptance does not mean that I am 100% happy with the situation - I just am choosing to look at it in the light. The behaviors were not anything I would have agreed to have around me - I just need to move on -

Yes - acceptance is the tough one. It is very hard to give up thinking that someone we cared about thinks in the same terms we do. We have nothing left to do but accept it. A tough pill to swallow. Hang in there...... I am still trying to swallow mine.
