Ideas on How to Survive 10 Weeks in a House after Having Seperated

Genuinely plea for ideas.
Have a new house after Christmas. The 14th of Jan. Totally worth the wait. I have 2 DC 2+3 who I look after most of the time but Tuesday and Wednesday morning when I work and college on a Saturday.
Me and my XP (FW) are having to remain in the same house.
He has been emotionally abusive throughout our relationship. He is denying everything I say and has said today that this is not me and he knows me and I would not behave like this.
So with all this going on I need to make 10 weeks fly by.
Any thoughts on how to manage my head space. I do yoga so that does help but ideas on how not to take on board his words?
How to block it out?
Things I can do for myself which take up the space that his drama did?
HELP!

There's a few mumsnetters that have walked in your shoes very recently- I'm sure they'll post in here to help you.

I had to share with my ex for a very short time (he turned up one day after he'd left for 6 months....that's another saga)

I pretty much ignored him. Didn't want to make it obvious in front of dc but just got on with whatever I was doing without involving him.

Do you have your own room now? Make it as comfortable as you can. Lots of evenings I used to just take myself off to the bedroom once the kids were in bed.

Just keep picturing your lovely new house and new peaceful life...stay focused on that if you're tempted to bite back or respond to any ridiculousness

Good luck!
