How do you handle a sudden change in your life?

Tweet

When im applying for a job, I always indicate that I am a very adaptable person, that I can handle changes well. But when I look at my life, I realize-- i'm not that adaptable as I think I am. A person who was once my entire life said that that i couldn't handle changes especially now that I am soon to become a single mom. I couldn't take well the fact that he can't be there to support me and be with me and help me raise this child. Which is a great change for me because when we were together before- he was always there for me, he made sure he had time for me- he lovED me.(past tense) I guess i really can't do well with the change that has happened. I still tend to remind him about how he was like before, and I ask him why he couldn't be like that to me anymore but this just gets him agitated because he is no longer the same person he was back then. So hence, from this even, I conclude that I deal with change poorly. I guess some things are just hard to accept for me. What about you? how do or how did you handle an abrupt change in your life? do you take changes well or are you also the one who needs a lot of time before accepting these changes?
