Val, the change curve is well described out on the web. It was originally used to describe the grieving process. In the career I have now it is used as a component of change management. I have found it applicable to my sitch. Acceptance is what I perceive here. Acceptance in not the end of the curve model, it is down the road and almost the end. Integration is what we are striving for.

We will always carry part of who we were and part of what occurred in the past. We will carry what we perceived as just and good in our core being. We will integrate into our core the lessons learned through this cycle of change as preparation for the next. Where we are at this moment is where we were a moment ago. Time advances, life goes on, change is constant. Accept that change is constant, learn to embrace change and chart your journey for personal positive outcomes.

Easier said than done I know for I too am on a similar path. Reflecting back upon the relationship I had I can see from this perspective how the constant cycle of drama prevented me from achieving personal growth. This is but one unhealthy aspect of my co-de relationship. Don’t rewrite history, take an honest look back. You are a better person than you were, ahead lies your future, imagine where you will be. Chart your course.
