I think no one will know until you begin feeling better, but I think you can begin by knowing what has happened is not your fault. The two of you made your commitments at the marriage altar and you are still keeping yours even though your husband has not...and I hope you can find a good counselor who can help you sort through all of that and continue being the loving woman you have already proved yourself to be.

Hopefully you have access to a good attorney who can help assure that you and your children receive everything a judge can possibly order. Your husband can do as he pleases with his own life, but not with yours or with the lives of your children.
