The first few months are the most difficult. It's natural to grieve for a while because you've lost a long-held relationship that was such a core part of your identity. If he’s mentally unstable, you probably should have left some time ago. Be gentle on yourself. Seek help from a counselor or therapist to help you heal your emotional wounds. You didn’t do anything wrong.
Know that things will get a lot better in the coming months. Use this time for personal growth and to nurture your soul. Take time to get in touch with the beauty of nature, listen to some relaxing music, spend some time at a spa, cuddle your favorite pet, watch your favorite comedies. Think about what you’d love to do with your life, now that you’re not constrained by your husband anymore. Once you let go of the negative thoughts, you’ll relish the freedom of your new life. And all kinds of new opportunities will open up for you.
