He sounds a lot like my Ex as I was reading along, but I have to tell you when I got to this part, I was floored. If this did not get him to step up to the plate, I don't know what will.
I'm really sorry to hear you have had to deal with this news on your own.

Tell me how I need to word this to him. Because he's not getting the 'round about' approach'!

You have been supermom and then some. It's easy to fall into a pattern of putting everything into your family and putting yourself last, but if you do have family/friends that can help you, I would recommend leaning on them now, so you can do what you need to for your health.
I definitely think subtle will not work with your husband. At this point, I would not even bring up any details with what you need how you are feeling as he will most likely not take any action but just one up you with his pains of the day.
I would flat out tell him that you cannot work, run the household and take care of your health while he sits around adding to your workload and not helping at all & you are not going to do it anymore....give him an ultimatum...go back to work, start counseling & put some effort into getting well or I'm done.
