Drew Sidara, the 38-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta star, is finding it difficult to move on after filing for divorce from her husband of nearly nine years, Ralph Pittman.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Sidara revealed that some days are harder than others and that she struggles to get out of bed.

“I’m learning to just be present and take it how it comes,” Sidara said.

“If I’m having a rough day, I just kind of take my moment and try to process it all and just emotionally heal.

That’s really the only thing I can do.”

Sidara, who is also a singer and actress, added that focusing on her career has been helpful during this difficult time.

“I just finished my fifth movie this year,” she said.

“As difficult and challenging as it is, God is definitely knowing what to do and keeping me busy and just showing me blessings and things and reasons to celebrate.”

Pittman confirmed the couple’s split on March 1st, asking for privacy as they navigate this difficult time.

Sidara issued her own statement, saying that she had made the agonizing decision to release her husband with love.

“Although Ralph and I have decided to move forward separately, the hope is to remain friends so that we can co-parent responsibly,” she said.

However, a few days later, Sidara lodged explosive allegations against her estranged partner, including claims that he was a serial cheater and adulterer who abused her both mentally and financially and even got physically aggressive with her at one point.

Among her claims, Sidara alleged that Pittman committed repeated uncondoned adultery during the marriage and even allowed his multiple paramours to have direct contact with her so that they could flaunt their relationships with him.

In response to his ex’s comments about hitting her breaking point in the marriage, Pittman issued a statement to PEOPLE, saying, “I love my wife with all my heart.

It is no secret that marriage is a challenging journey, one that is not for the faint of heart.

Although we know the real reason that ultimately led to my request for divorce, I’m taking this time to be more introspective and working to become the best version of myself.

I stand by my response to the petition, however, I sincerely apologize for my part in the deterioration of our relationship.

As seasons change, I’m hopeful and optimistic for brighter days ahead.”

Despite the difficult circumstances, Sidara remains optimistic about the future.

“It’s one day at a time,” she said.

“Some days are good, I’m in a good place, I’m able to laugh, able to accomplish my day.

And other days, I just can’t even get out of bed, really.
