Forgive Forgive
We say it twice because it’s not just about forgiving your spouse, it’s about forgiving yourself too. Don’t hold onto resentment or get into a battle for who gets the children. It will make it hard for you to move on and your kids to adjust. So you need to truly learn to forgive.
Make New Friends
If you have friends in common you’ll have to deal with seeing him every time you hang out. Even when he’s not there, people will still bring the issue up and it’ll be uncomfortable. So don’t stick to mutual friends, carry the ones you brought with you to the marriage and make new ones. It’s not that hard.

Follow Your Dreams
You probably had some dreams you had to put on hold when you got married. It’s time to stop dreaming and start doing. It’s going to be hard at first because starting afresh can be daunting, but do it anyway. Pursuing dreams that are yours has a way of empowering you and making you love yourself and your abilities.
Make Joint Custody Amicable
Split visitation rights with him and don’t keep the kids from seeing him, unless he is abusive. Don’t go back and forth or get into arguments when you drop off or pick up the kids. That’s just dragging yourself back into his drama.
