Left and lonely

On December 27 my husband of 23 yrs. announced that he was having an affair with our next-door neighbor. He loves me, but isn't "in love" with me anymore. I had just gone through a 2-yr illness and had been off work for a while. He has since moved into his own apartment and left me with our 2 sons, 19 & 16. I am so lonely and confused. The boys are angry and disappointed with his behavior and continually vent to me. I have a supportive family and friends (married couples), but not anyone who I can honestly talk to about this. I don't have a clue how to start over and be alone. I know things will be easier when I go back to work (scheduled for next week). At least I will have some sort of routine and not spend so much time by myself. I am looking for advice and help getting through this horrible time.

I can only imagine your pain.
