I do agree about speaking with a couselor. There's nuances with the stress and emotions that come with leaving a marriage. I probably surprised my own at the time because much of my weekly sessions delved into my need to cut the apron strings between myself and my mom and had only grazed the surface of my marriage, at that point. Then my insurance changed as did my therapists, but it can be a great benefit to speak with one during such a major life upheaval.



Just to add. You've got to figure with my first therapist during this time, my then husband would ask what was discussed. Yes, I was working on boundaries, too. For instance, it was certainly none of his business, however, he would sense if I was lying. So I was tiptoeing, sort of.
