I am sorry that you find yourself in this situation. But you asked if there is hope; there is. However, now is the time to take care of yourself and your children. I agree with seeing a lawyer; find out your rights. Also, read the Divorce Remedy.
Do you have an agreement with him on the custody of the children? Are you getting exercise? Are you seeing a counselor? Are you going to church? How are you doing financially?
How long has your H been depressed? Is he on meds? Is he seeing a pschiatrist? Have you talked to the pschiatrist?
Hang in there. This site is wonderful; you will get a lot of good advice here
