Q: Depressed, Stressed Out, Feel So Alone!

I really need some advice because I feel like I'm going nuts.
I live in the UK and I've just split from my husband. I have a soon to be 4 yr old and a 2 yr old and I'm 21 weeks pregnant.
I don't have any family because they disowned me and not many friends (not ones i can talk to anyways).
Ive been married for 5 years and I honestly cant remember the good times. we barely went out because he went with his mates. when he took the kids out it was with his mates.
I know my children prefer there dad.
He has them for 3/4 days and nights a week and everytime they're away I feel so alone. theres noone to ring, nothing to do.
But when they are here, I dont know what to do with them that'll make them happy. I wear a veil so I cant take them out much because I get alot of verbal abuse and I dont want them to hear and I'm a very emotional person.
when they're in, they be at pre-school for the aftrenoon and I dont know how to play with them when there back!
They're always happy with there dad because he plays boxing with them, and throws them about in the air and catches them. he takes them out to the parks or to his friends who have children.
there are times when I feel like screaming and at times I cant make myself stop crying.
please help me.

Hold On to Your Children
Don't begrudge him being a Dad. Be a Mom. Hold them, sing to them, read to them, watch TV with them. Make sure they bath, brush their teeth, do any homework shows them you care. Explian to them right from wrong. Give them values, and the strength to live by. You may not be able to do all that. But, if you could do any of it, things might grow to where you can do all of it. Your the MOM.
This is what I would do in your position. I hope others can help you more.
