NO!!! do not do anything, do not agree to anything until you go see a lawyer and get some help.
does he have to pay to help? yes. how much depends on a lot of things.
you have 2 kids. you have huge problems with your husband. it sounds like you are headed to a divorce.
You have a child (children) with this person. Each child needs to be raised, in a decent apartment or house, needs to be fed, clothed, educated, sent to college maybe, and in general supported and loved. You can do the last part on your own (every kid deserves two loving supporting parents, though), but everything else takes MONEY! Money which we will attempt to get from the child's father.
You need advice from a lawyer. Be prepared to pay for the lawyer's time; it is how the lawyer pays for his/her own bills.
Call if you like; I never charge for a first phone call. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.

You need to obtain a court order for support if he is not paying the mortgage and household expenses.
