Wow! That is quite a story! Rest your hand and listen carefully! MANY ARE LISTENING! You are very desperate right now and depression is getting a hold of your being! You need to compliment yourself everyday for NOT taking a drink to numb the pain of your depression. I am not a doctor, nurse or psychologist, but you might want to talk to the doctor again and have your medication changed so that perhaps you can find something that might work for you. My doctor says that 65-70% of depression patients DO NOT click with the first round of prescribed medication. When I heard that I didn't feel so bad.
Your wife is probably scarred right now and is afraid to jump into a relationship. You went from drinking to depression which to her is both difficult to deal with. She has not left you and if you are doing everything you can to get better then she will see that you are trying and she will have hope too! Keep a good relationship with your daughter and try to TALK to your son. It is never to late to open up and listen to them.

Good luck and take each day as it comes.

ALways listening...
