Holidays After an Affair

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm thinking about you. Holidays can be tough after an affair, you may have some bad memories, old memories or facing people who know about the Big Bad. Just wanted you to know I'm praying for you and to hang in there.

If yucky thoughts come at you-push them out. My therapist says, "lots of people come knock at your door, but you don't have to let them come in and dwell inside." So, acknowledge it and then tell them, "no thank you" and close that door-move on.

Another wise person said to stop unwanted thoughts-speak aloud. I find that works. Even if you are yelling at the thoughts to get back-just talking and making sound seems to cut the thought off. Maybe try singing a little tune to banish it.

So take care, be merry and keep on working on your marriage. Seek help, seek support and care for yourself.

Merry Christmas all!
