Waiting, there is a saying in Al-Anon, "what other people think of me is none of my business." I'm not sure you really need to explain any of this to anyone at work. You can just go about your life. Why do they need to know? It seems kind of like you're fretting over all of this because you're in a panic over your husband and feel like you should be doing something, but I don't think any action is really required of you at this point except to take good care of yourself and your daughters. If you just give it all a break, time will reveal more.
