She slapped your son? Does she normally discipline them like that?
If not, then I'd make sure she's not taking out her frustrations on them. She still hasn't done anything to help herself in that department, so all she's doing is letting things build again in herself and since you're not there to take it out on you, I'd hate to think she's punishing them for it.
My W did the same thing. Not the physical slapping, but when we were separated, I noticed she was much more prone to frustration and anger and would yell at our D's more. Something totally not in her personality.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
