Separated. Don't know how to feel

[Happyslashsad]

DH of 18 years left our home last week. Our marriage has been bad for a long time but we were both clinging on.
We have a DD who is 4. We are going to do our best to do it amicably for her. We rent our house and he has moved out.
I've wanted to separate for ages but now it's happened I feel scared and alone and uncertain of the future.
I'm worried about money a lot. I'm worried about loneliness. I'm worried about a lot he little jobs he used to do around the house. I just feel scared to do it on my own.

Take one step forward at a time, you're more than capable of looking after yourself, your child and your home, you've just lost confidence in yourself as an individual. I felt like that when I split with my first DCs dad, I remember the turning point for me was when one day I went out and bought a tin of paint and painted the bathroom, such a simple thing but it was a like a light switched back on in my head. I've been with my DH for a longtime now but I never forget to remind myself that I could still do everything I needed and wanted on my own because I fear losing myself like I did before so much still.

You're going to be ok, you can do this
