    I am so sorry for you,EXACTLY the same thing happened to me,2 children under 3,etc,etc.

    First ,you will be ok,the kids will be ok,he will be ok.

    My husband left to be on his own because we deserved better but he also didn't love me anymore,like you ,what seemed to be a snap decision.

    I was distraught.I reasoned that if he had another serious illness I would support him 'till he was better.He was adamant he had to go.

    The best advice I had was from his mental health worker who said you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.EVERYONE was offering him help and support but he refused it.

    That was 20 years ago,the kids have both finished uni and have good jobs,I am remarried and happy.

    It was only years later I realised that living with a very depressed person sucks the life out of you too.

    My intention is to offer you some hope for a brighter future for you and the children.

    good luck,take care of yourself and accept support where you can.
