I am still in recovery from two major surgeries and I discovered my husband's affair in the middle of all of that. What's worse is he will not stop seeing this woman while I am healing and I know exactly where he is going when he leaves. He has basically left all household duties on me and the kids. What's worse is his attitude. He is so mean and critical of me everyday. I have tried to keep the peace but I can see that is making him worse. Him spending mother's day with her is what broke me yesterday yet again. I really need advice on how to carry on in such an emotional harmful environment

I'm so sorry.
Where are you in recovering from surgery? Are you mobile? Can you afford household assistance?
What's your support system? Close to helpful family members? If you're far from family, can you take the kids and visit home?
We can provide feedback and other support if we know more about your situation.

You don't have to like your boundaries. You just have to set and enforce them.

I am recovering well, unfortunately my family is hours away and I don't have friends in south jersey. I have to deal with this alone. It will make me better
