I wish I could say this journey is a straight line. Unfortunately, there will be bumps in the road. It's the two steps forward, on step back thing. Reconciling is never as easy as you want it to be and will take longer than you think. But if you know this and realize that this is part of the path to a healthier and stronger M, then it will be easier to get through the rough spots. Good luck and keep thinking positively!

God grant me the serenity,
to accept the things I cannot change,
To change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
