That sure is a toughie! If you ever find the answer to that question, you'd become a millionaire.

Part of life is learning. We grow as we learn. Some lessons are real painful to accept, like abuse, but the growth comes when we accept the painful lessons. In my opinion, acceptance is sometimes extremely difficult!! It is a necessary part of our lives in this world though.

You aren't alone. Many of us are struggling with our memories ~ sharing our experiences and perspective with one another helps us all get through. It isn't an overnight process. Sometimes, we may take one or two steps backward, but we keep trying to get through the maze to acceptance.
