Infidelity Support Group

My husband who ended his affair about a month ago and says he wants to work on our marriage has been really depressed. He's spoken of feeling suicidal but says he would never actually to it b/c of our son (8). He has been to counseling (about 5 times so far) and we're supposed to start couple's counseling in a week and a half. He won't talk about what he feels depressed about (says it makes him too depressed to think about it). I think it has to do w/ all the mess he's made, he also affected possible future career promotions b/c he got a DUI when drinking too much while involved w/ the OW. (Now he has a restricted license). Also he recently found out his mother has cancer (and we don't know for sure if it will be curable) So he has alot to be depressed about. But what sucks is sometimes it's hard for me to express how depressed I'VE been. I went to see my medical doctor about something else this week and broke down. She said I needed to be on anti-depressants. I recently did breakdown when husband was over recently and told him all of this. He was very sweet and supportive. So that helped. It's all about learning to talk to each other more I realize. This whole thing is just SO hard. Somedays I don't know if I can do it.....
