The answer

Allah created this world as a realm of calamities and trials so that His servants may be patient and long for the Hereafter. The questioner's relationship ended in divorce, his ex-wife is mentally ill, and he has no intention of returning to her. His heart inclines towards her, but his mind refuses, and this is the solution. The questioner must strengthen the voice of reason within him and disabuse himself of any hope for his beloved, as there is no way to reunite with her. Attachment to the impossible is madness. The questioner is still young and should seek another wife who suits him. He must completely sever his ties with his ex-wife, even by phone, and he should ask Allah to make him forget her and to compensate him with something better.
