Once again, calling on your support group is a fantastic way of centering yourself.
Kids need both parents, especially in divorce, even when it jerks our hearts. Studies show the negative effects of having their father as a 'visitor'.
If your son feels strongly about spending half the time with his dad, run it by your lawyer to see if you can do a non binding agreement for more flexible visitation.
My kids' dad only spends one hour the weeks with them something which is going to eventually damage their self esteem and potentially compel them to act out in negative ways.
