ACT QUICKLY
It’s the action, not the fruit of the action that is important.
You have to do the right thing.
It may not be in your power,
may not be in your time that there will be any fruit.
But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing.
You may never know what results come from your action.
But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Mahatma Gandhi
 
You have confronted the reality of your situation and that is
usually the hardest part. However, it doesn’t end there. You cannot
hope that the situation would just go away on its own. Remember,
you have a choice in this. Even your inaction is a deliberate choice
you have made and like the great Mahatma Gandhi said, if you do
nothing, there will be no results. Breaking free from a web of deceit
might be exhilarating at first until you have to deal with the
outpouring of emotions in the aftermath. The intensity of the
emotions experienced may cause us to want to go into denial. And
this is a normal process. In the five stages of grief, the first stage is
denial. The more you delay in taking action, the deeper and faster
your denial sets in. And when denial sets in, there is a very high
probability that you would go back to the vicious cycle that
characterized this stage of your life. Avoid this by taking prompt
action now. It doesn’t have to be anything grand. Something as
simple as informing your close friend of the reality of the situation
can set in motion a series of events that will eventually set you free.
After making the choice to act, you should know that the fabric
of illusion is made of tougher material than glass. While I used the
term “shatter your illusion” what actually happens is a gradual
separation of facts from fiction. With your emotions in high gear, the
illusion might be working its way back into your heart by using
fragments of your emotions to mend it. When a liar is caught in a lie,

he or she may seek to recruit others to enforce that lie when they
feel they no longer have a hold over you. A deceptive partner whom
you have recently broken off things with would at this point seek to
use the other mutual relationships in your life to influence you into
changing your mind. The person they use may not be in league with
them. They are probably just manipulated into doing the things they
do. Liars have no problems using friends, family and even a religious
leader to get what they want. You have to stand up for the choice
you have made and make up your mind to see it through.
When the ploy to manipulate you through other people fails,
the next thing they do is resort to their old method which is leeching
on to your own emotions. In divorce situations, spouses use their
