How hard was it for you to "Move on" from a hurtful experience?

I'd say, mine was indeed a surprise. It took me sometime to move on when my father left us for another woman... it took us several years to build ourselves back again because he never supported us in any way... it was such a struggle. It took me a couple of months to move on and consider myself alone after being turned down several times by people whom i thought were my friends since we were in grade school... I thought i'd forever not forgive someone who'd lie and cheat on me... but its just days I think I am over the stage contemplating what went wrong, etc.. I just prayed and prayed that God help me recover fast and God lets me see what I should be doing. I don't know what it is, i don;t know if i should completely forget about it... but i know i will be hanging on... I have god with me... Hence i am moving on faster than i thought i could ever do...

Something like this happened to me. My father, he abandoned us for another woman as well, I never got the chance to meet him until I was 10 years old, to this day I still despise him, he is the only person who I can truly say that I have hated and still do. He left my home when I was just 2 Months old, yes, thats right, he left his newborn baby just so he could be with another woman, shows how much he cared for me. I don't know if what I have done is moving on, or being stuck on the issue, depends on your point of view, but I just live my life. as if he never existed (which he didn't for the most part) In my mind, hes nobody to me, a person thats worth less than dirt...Okay so the point is, things will get better, just be strong, and overcome the challenges that life may throw at you, in the end, all the hurtful experiences just make you stronger.

Its very hard indeed.Even if I can heal myself in shorter time but to fully forget about it it will going to happen. It will still in my heart and my mind and with the strength given to me I need to get up and continue with the life. Moving on does not mean I need to forget about it. We should never forget the hurtful things as it will be a good lesson for us to deal with in a future.

I think that I have been mostly blessed without anything truthfully hurtful. Just minorly hurtful, sometimes to a moderate level yes. However when there is any amount of hurt, it does take a little bit of time to get over that. If there is a huge, big thing that really tears you up and mentally messes you up, then it is really going to take an insane amount of time to really get over the hurt and move forward to get back to actually living life. Some people never completely cover, just putting on a facade, as there are many things that cause a lot of problems. In the end, life really does move forward whether we are ready for it or not. We got to pull ourselves off of the ground, we need to really just move forward and get back to it. It does hurt and it will continue to hurt, but in the end, the fact that we are going to be able to pull ourselves together is what makes us survivors. Hurt can take days, weeks, months, or even years to really recover from. Yet eventually we find ourselves just amplifying it the more often that we do not come to terms with it.

You do the right thing when you pray to God for you to move on. In order for me to move on faster is to focus myself on the things I want to do and I love to do. I always divert the things that bothers me to the things I mostly enjoy.

Life is a journey and as we go on with our journey we will pass different curves, rough roads, rocky roads, and smooth roads. all we need to do is to focus ourselves to our destination. We experience different levels of struggle and success dependent on our capacity to handle. The owner of the weighing scale will not attempt to weigh a the 1 sack of rice to a 10-kilo capacity weighing scale. Just like God, he will not give us a problem that is beyond to our capacity limit. Don't worry friend, you are so blessed because you are now in the high level of the game of life. you should be thankful that God has entrusted you that kind of struggles because He knows that you can handle it well than others. God bless.

It's such a hurtful experience being left by one's parents. They are the most important person in a child's life. I guess, it will really be hard to move on if I were in your shoes. Good that you have already moved on. You just have to have more faith and trust in God who is always there to help each one of us.

I think all of us have different ways to cope with experiences we encounter in our lives.It depends on how we deal with it.Just bear in mind that all problems have a corresponding solution.Be always in the positive side.

That's true, no one can help us in a very hurtful situation than God alone. He is our comfort in times like that. I can still remember, that it took me more than 4 months of crying in the middle of every night, since i have forgiven my husband for cheating me. My husband would wake up and console me. I may have forgiven him, but the pain cannot just simply go away. I was a housewife then, so i did all i can until i find my job. The job made me busy and little by little i gained new friends, my ever loving lady boss , my self confidence and strength until, i have recovered from the pain. All through this, i have God as my comfort and strength. It was He who made me able to stand up again and i can never thank Him enough.

so sorry to know your story:-( i know that feelings. Ive been put or been in a situations where no where to run or how to start all over again. Through all these experience i am experiencing i've learned it somehow. Life for me has to move on make it with you also. Do it for your self, for your dreams, and for those people who you love most and not to those people who are just passing to your life or put some scares and pain in you. Live each day as a new day and have it cherish. and keep it reminded you are doing this to achive your dreams. Just take one at a time to achive and to move on. Then one day you realize things change and things are normal and happy and exciting.

My body is used to "move on" fast, even in sad condition or so. I can do another jobs fast even after sad thing happened. But not my heart. My heart isn't easily forget. And in several cases: isn't easily forgive. So, a bad thought could always passed by in any time. And when bad thought comes, it really feels sucks. But yes, I am still having God. In pinch condition like that, I would like to pray toward Him and ask for His patronage :). All is well, all should be well after that
