ACCEPTANCE
Sometimes
you may feel as thought you are stuck – you can’t do the things that you want
to with you life because of memories, symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and life
circumstances that are either a direct or indirect result of the abuse.
You may feel as though you are losing your whole life to the abuse. The
following are acceptance statements that you can keep to help you through
difficult times.

I accept the abuse as part of my life story. My journey
in working to get over the effects of this abuse has made me strong.
Now I am in charge of my life. I am going to do whatever I need to do
to make my life the way I want it to be. |

The things that happened to me were terrible and should never
have happened to me. But they did. Now it is time to get my life
back – to be the kind of person I want to be and do the things I want to do. |

The abuse happened a long time ago. I am no longer being
abused. I am no longer being abused. I am in charge of my life
and I am doing the things I want to do. |

The abuse was then. This is now. I am doing good
work in getting over the effects of the abuse. I am ready to move on with
my life. http://www.turningpointservices.org/Domestic%20Violence%20-%20Acceptance%20vs%20Blame.htm |
