Lies are never easy to face, specially if you have been the one lied to. That is the most shattering experience and it knocks all of the great energy that you thought you had.
The truth from personal experience was a total lack of energy for my personal well being. The disbelief that this could happen to me and the struggle to overcome the totally different life I was living. The life I thought I had, and the reality that hit me.
I did not have a Dr. Phil to help me out and my journey was a long and at times painful one. Trust was a part of me that was extremely difficult to project and I shied away from people and social life. It made me violently ill, which I recovered from in 6 months and took 6 years to recover true confidence in myself.
From what I have viewed of Dr. Phil, I truly believe that the road can be much shorter for Michelle. The first step is to tell someone and that is what you have done Michelle, you have taken the first step. Trust your gut feeling and not your broken heart or your large shock. It took me awhile to figure that out, but in the long run, it made me a happier and stronger person.
From a once shocked confession, I send energy and positive recovery your way.
True energy is within you, I hope with the aid of Dr. Phil, you find that energy
