Hello davmid, I'm so sorry about your marriage breakup but the main thing is that you are seeking help for your depression. You sound like a great dad, and are obviously worried about the effect your breakup will have on your children. I myself have depression and I'm with my 3 children in the evening as my husband works. My kids have seen me at my lowest and have often seen me cry. The psych nurse said to me that I should say to my kids that mom gets sad sometimes and that it's nothing that they have done and that everything will be okay. My kids are 13, 9 and 6 years. Maybe that is something you could say to your kids. The main thing is that they did nothing wrong. I wish you all the best with your treatment and I hope everything works out for you.
