I am so sorry about your situation but want to put a few things out there for you to think about.
1. OW is NOT your friend. She is your enemy. Do not talk with her anymore.
2. I have the same problems with my D, 16. It is such a tough spot to be in. You want to work things out with H but do not want D to think it is okay for men to treat their wives like he has treated you. Or at least that is how I feel. Do parents have to go to counseling in your state if divorcing? You do in mine.
3. Put your emotions aside as much as you can for the next week and start getting the legal things in place. Who pays for what, who keeps medical insurance, who pays for the kids' college, who pays for the lawyer. Be a baracuda on this and do not let him off easy.
4. Do everything you force yourself to do, get out of bed, get dressed, etc for your kids to show them you are strong and they can depend on you right now.

Your problems with H will have to wait until you and the kids can get back into somewhat of a routine. Praying for you.
