Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

So, how do you go about finding the opportunity in this obstacle of divorce? What is the first step? The first step is acceptance. Acceptance of your current situation means acknowledging that your marriage has ended, it does not mean accepting your fate as a divorced person as others might define it.

Let me clarify what acceptance is not. Acceptance is not denial. Acceptance is not hopeless resignation about your fate. Acceptance is not avoiding the inevitable reality. Acceptance is not behaving like what you think other people expect a divorced person to behave like. Acceptance is absolutely not portraying yourself as a victim. This may seem ridiculously obvious, but without acceptance, you simply cannot become empowered to make life decisions. You must come to terms with the fact that your marriage has ended in order to address your future as a single person.

Unfortunately, I have encountered too many people who refuse to accept that their marriage has ended. Once it is over, why it is over really becomes irrelevant except where your behavior may have contributed.
