Why am I taking longer to adjust? ... i don't understand all these changes.

Old joke:
Guy goes into a diner, orders breakfast: warm orange juice, cold fried eggs, burnt toast and muddy coffee, "And serve it in a cracked cup so it drips down my chin."
"Anything else?" the waitperson asks.
"Yeah, sit down and nag me. I'm homesick."

You may have gotten used to bracing yourself against whatever your mother might do next. Now that that source of stress isn't there any more, you don't quite know what to do with yourself.
Also, dealing with your mother, bad as it seems to have been for you, might have kept you distracted from other issues in your life that you now have room to address but that you're not entirely looking forward to.
It all sounds like progress to me, Kiya, only you're not quite sure how you like it.
