Tree, consider counseling for your son. That may help.
You may need to balance the GAL stuff with the "Love your Son" stuff for a while. I spoke with my individual counselor about taking care of the kids through this time, and she had some great advice, some of which was not intuitive for me. Like... she suggested I "make them" talk. They really really want to talk, need to talk, but are afraid to. So I have to start the conversation.

Sort of like what you would do with drugs, alcohol, sex, and that kind of thing. They want to talk about it but don't know how to bring it up themselves. The issues in your marriage are the same. So my counselor suggested that I gently but firmly bring up the topic - make sure they know it is ok to talk about. If they resist, then I need to wait a while and bring it up a different way.

And she was right.

anyway, think about asking your own counselor about this.
