Learning to Accept

   In life there are so many things thrown at us that we have no control over. For example: I was given the parents I was given, and I may never know why. I love my mom and my dad was very abusive and has many demons of him own. I was close to my sister until she started show signs of sever bi-polar, then she left everyone including her kids to start a new life in the world she created in her head. It wasn't until the last couple of years I have learned to accept and shed no more tears over either one of them. Because I was given alot of help learning to accept. Talking with professionals helped me learn to accept the things I cannot change. Now that I am 1 in about 10 million that suffers from having pain on both sides of my face, I have to learn to accept it. What is now difficult is that last time I was working and talking with others that we going or went through the same thing. This time it is hard for others to know what pain I'm talking about.
   My journey is long and I have to be patient. That is so much more difficult to do than to say. I mean there is no one to forgive or nothing I can change. It is just learn to accept to be in pain for the rest of my like. In 6 days I will be 39. Yes only 39!!! Any help I can get would be great.
