Probably my parents' divorce and trying to build up a relationship again with my dad and step-mom.
There are a couple more though haha I'm just not open to discussing those :P
What is the worst thing you have ever had to come to terms with?
I have to tell myself that 'he' might not ever speak to me again, I may never get the closure I truly need on this subject. I have to keep living.
Becoming a widow and single mother.
The death of family members.
The fact that I am lied to everyday and that I lie right back..
Having to take my dog to the vet, to be euthanized ... After 15 years of friendship
Unfortunately I was raised to expect he worst and to routinely "catastrophize"---that led to my having difficulty accepting that good things that happened to me were actually going to last.
The "silver lining" (albeit it "tarnished") set my expectations very low and made my acceptance of good compromised.
I do not want to trivialize other answers, but my greatest difficulty is dealing with consequent ignorance in people.
Consequent ignorance is essentially the "none so blind as those who will not see" type.
Coming here.
