Life After Betrayal

Are You Ready To Heal & Move On?
Knowing if you are ready to heal and move on can be confusing.  Use this guideline to help you figure out where you are... and what you need to do to get on with the healing!...

 

·        Do you still feel like the victim?  Are you still asking “Why me?”

·        Do you still let the anger and resentment consume you frequently?

·        Do you still want to blame your partner for your unhappiness?

If the above questions describe how you feel, then you aren’t quite ready for the healing stage that we're addressing on the Healing & Moving On After Betrayal board.  All angry thoughts and grief need their time to process through your emotions, and the Betrayed Spouses Support Group  is there to help you work through that process.  Also, visit the Betrayed Spouses Support Group Website for additional resources.

 

·        Are you ready to move forward with your life?

·        Are you ready to forgive your past in an effort to find your inner peace?

·        Are you ready to accept complete responsibility for your life, your choices in your life, and your happiness?

If the above questions describe how you feel, then you are ready to let the healing begin!  Congratulations!  Come on over and join us at the Life After Betrayal  message board.

Now, all of that said, you can expect days when your emotions will wreak havoc on you.  If you are having a difficult period, please feel free to visit the Betrayed Spouses Support Group  and seek the support that you need.  These two boards can both be used simlutaneously depending on your feelings.  Yes, we're there for you in either place, but remember the main focus of the Healing And Moving On board is positive.  Frustration with the positive direction is OK, reeling about your partner's affair needs to be discussed at BSSG.

The first thing that you have to understand in the healing process is that emotions are a very prominent part of your being, and they must be dealt with.  You must allow yourself to express and deal with the emotions that you are feeling.  There is a saying that I like to use, “What you repress will become stress” and we don’t need that… so express what you are feeling!  Don’t keep it bottled up!  Who knows when it might explode!... and that would be a nasty setback to all of the progress that you've made.

 

 

I am not afraid of storms, for I have learned how to sail my ship.
