For me it took a while to come to terms with Reformed Soteriology. Understanding God's sovereignty is particularly tricky at the best of times and it didn't particularly help that most discussions of it I came across were presenting it as a short 5 points description (where one of the points is "limited atonement", which sounds a bit discouraging). A fuller understanding of it woven into the rest of Reformed theology helped, and I found the description given in the Canons of Dort quite well thought out.
Yeah, I had trouble with limited atonement for a good while too. John Piper had a class that I watched on it and really helped me understand the fuller meaning of that point (along with calling it 'Definite Atonement' instead)
Definite atonement is certainly the better term for it
