So I feel I have finally...finally...hit the acceptance phase. It has taken me a long road...3 years since first DD day and on the road to divorce.

I have notice things aren't getting me as worked up as before. And after seeing him, I realized I wanted him to leave...his mere presence makes my skin crawl.

I haven't been able to go to IC, lost our insurance and don't have the cash to pay for that, as I am struggling to make ends meet. Amazingly, someone came back into my life who has been my rock. A childhood friend that I grew up with.

I know it will take me a long time to be able to date again, because I have too many ME goals to get involved with anyone, and I am not afraid of being alone.

And just like everyone says, just one day you wake up and you feel at peace. I finally hit a milestone...now is my divorce over with yet? LOL

Yeah, although it sucks…there seems to be some valid truth to the "3-5 year" healing timeline.

It isn't all smooth sailing, but more of a "yeah, I can deal with that and I will get over it quickly" kinda acceptance. Life goes on.

Yea! Acceptance is a wonderful thing. Sounds like you've been doing your work, living your life, reflecting on things, finding things that make you better not bitter.

one day you wake up and you feel at peace.

LOVE THIS WITH A HUNDRED HEARTS.
