Conspiracy Theories

What do you do when the conspiracy turns out to be true? I am left with that dilemma at the moment. It was much nicer to be in denial and to think it was all in my head. I am having trouble wrapping my head around this. Maybe this is because I have integrity and want to believe that other people have ethics and are honest. I am definitely learning that isn't the case. Sorry I can't really explain at the moment... just a difficult situation all the way around and I am venting.
