I'm really sorry you're going through this. Here are a few things you might consider:
- Keep a record of all messages and communications.
- If the messages escalate to threats or harassment, you may want to consider obtaining a protection order.
- Consult with a family lawyer regarding the separation and any financial obligations your husband has.
