feeling really overwhelmed today

So, we have separated and I feel totally sure about it, am feeling really positive about my future, looking forward to being single, being in control of the finances etc. But am feeling utterly overwhelmed at the practicalities of seperating and circumstances mean he will be living here for a while yet, until he can sort out an alternative. We are getting along fine but I just want to get on with my life. I know it will take time to sort everything and I can't bear the thought of it, can anyone offer advise on how to get through each day please?

Stay away from him as much as poss. Dinner, bath, kids in bed...you them go to your room alone, with your empty lined journals and begin working on your new life. Arrange child are from him or others and get out there. Do not tell him what you are doing. X. And enjoy it!!! You are free!!

Yes, like PP said, do spend as little time together as possible.

I think it will be very difficult to move on if you are still living together. I think "sorting out an alternative" is an immediate priority.

Do you have children together?

Hi,
thanks for all your responses. Yes we have 2 dds so obviously are trying to keep things as normal as possible for them. As I say, we are getting on as well as we did, which is absolutely fine but I don't cope well with not knowing what is happening so am finding that quite stressful. I think writing is going to be the way forward do that I have got somewhere to channel my thoughts.
