Blooming Beyond Betrayal: The Power of Acceptance
Part 3 of the series
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the third post in the series, “Blooming Beyond Betrayal.” This series is meant to discuss many different aspects of what happens in the aftermath of betrayal in a marriage or partnership, while also inviting into the conversation the nuance and complexity of this sort of experience. In the last post, we talked about the healing process and what that might mean. In this third part, we will discuss the definitions of acceptance, examine the idea of that in relation to betrayal, what is its role in the journey of growth, both in ourselves and in a relationship? I will also highlight how acceptance can be an alternative to the idea of forgiveness.
