Re: Waiting on Trial, got Brain Mets...

Dear Julierene

This kind of betrayal is very,very difficult to handle but it is his weakness and not yours. He is also your ex problem and someone else's current problem.

I always go by the Serenity Prayer used by AA, NA, Al-Anon etc:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.


The past is the past and you cannot change it. You can only change today and plan on tomorrow.

Hugs
