Thanks Rabbit, I know... Acceptance... it really is the key isn't it? I think I have to remember that acceptance is not condoning. By accepting that this happened, I am not saying it is ok, I am saying it just is. I guess it is like the stages of grieving in a lot of ways isn't it? Acceptance being the final stage...
I will have to check on your thread how things are going for you Rabbit. I hope your Christmas was good and you enjoyed having H home with you.
Today we go to visit the in-laws. Should be interesting. They have no idea what has happened (other than H's sister, who will keep things confidential). In H's family we have always been looked up to as the "model couple and family". H had some conflicts with them in the past few years and chose to be somewhat estranged from them until very recently. So this will be the first Christmas with them in awhile.
We will see what the day brings. So far feeling more positive today... Happy Boxing Day to you too Rabbit!
