After Infidelity Happens To You, Learn To Trust Again

After a relationship ends one of the most difficult challenges is to learn to trust again. Yes, certainly it's hard to trust another person again but that is only the half of it. More significantly it becomes difficult to trust one's Heart again.

You see many individuals believe that it was their decision to heed the pangs of love in their Heart that led them into that unfortunate relationship in the first place. The end result being heartache and disappointment. Like an emotional scar, not unlike a post traumatic situation, it becomes buried within and leads that individual to avoid anything that will cause the pain to re-emerge.  This however is tantamount to shutting down one's Heart and the feelings that emerge from there. I ask you to recall that the Heart is where one's passion for life lives, where one sources one's inner wisdom and most importantly where the Life Force or the Energy of Life enters the physical body. You will recall that when the Heart stops beating then a person is technically dead. It is the organ of Life.
So the consequence to shutting down the feelings in one's Heart is equivalent to suffocating the Life Force that lives inside you and which out of necessity must support you emotionally, mentally, physically and which is spirit itself.
So are you feeling like you're caught between a rock and a hard place i.e. between feeling the heart ache and choosing death? Well that's because that's exactly where you are! So is there a solution to your situation?  Yes!
The only way to end the pain of the Heartache and reclaim your life is to effectively "erase" the memory of it from your mind and body once and for all! This will not only open your Heart it will allow you to reconnect to its true message with great clarity.

4 Real Ways To Make It Work

Are you a stepparent? Are you struggling to make the right decisions for your newly created family? If so, here are four tips to help.

1. Give your blended family a chance to bond.
Don't worry if everyone doesn't settle in right away; bonding takes time. Hopefully, you all got to know each other before you moved in together, but the transition to living comfortably together can take time.

2. Have family meetings weekly.
Give everyone (kids, too) a chance to share how they feel, what they like and don't like, and ask them to share both positive and negative opinions. Invite suggestions about how to make things better. Shared times, such as mealtimes, are important -- but each person needs a break, too. Don't allow the schedule to be too busy -- plan some time off.

3. Get on the same parenting page.
Mom and Dad need to work out parenting methods, rewards, punishments, chores, allowances, bedtimes, homework, etc. Each of your single-parent families is unique, and everyone has to adjust to change. Transition is much easier if the parents are in agreement. If something happens you haven't discussed, just defer to one parent, and work it out later. If you allow the kids to create discord between you, they'll jump on it right away, and make your lives miserable.

4. If you have shared custody with one or more outside parents, resolve any conflicts with them right away.
Ex-spouse struggles can become disasters. You'll all be connected for life. Help the children transition from one household to another by a debriefing when they come home. "How was your visit?".  Then talk about the system at your house.
