There's a book called mind over mood which also gives some good self help strategies. Focus on the fact that you know you are going to go back (the only thing you don't know is when), so channel your energies into planning that - what will you need to do to achieve that - perhaps going to court may be one of the options you have to consider - what are the pros and cons for this option - make a list as it often helps to see things in black and white and you can then dismiss the options you know aren't viable.

As Quoll suggests, (and it's something i tell my clients to do) allow a time to think about your worries/concerns etc., but not to let it to over-run their life or consume your thoughts. Crying isn't a negative thing - it's an emotion that needs to be exressed - if you keep it all in .... it only finds another way of coming out.
