Where do I start?

Hi.
I'm not sure where to start.
Husband, married for 30 years with 4 children was sent to prison 9 years ago for downloading indecent images and sharing. Went in the press. Complete shock and hellish time.
Then he was arrested again 4 years ago. Inevitably, he was sent back to prison recently, so I'm going through it all again. This time it didn't go in the press thanks to some interventions. It took all this time to get back to court for sentencing. Throughout these years, I've been so very fearful of it going in the press again.
I'm left with CPTSD, anxiety and depression. My children are all adults now thankfully.
I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I don't think I'll ever recover. I lost everything because of a man I thought loved me. I've lost decades of my life to him. How is anyone meant to deal with that?
