Oh nice - I like that advice from Stuck - especially the last sentence!!
Oz - this explosion had to come - you have been too calm in lots of ways - too patient and too accommodating, in my humble opinion! Perhaps a bit of anger is what you need now to get you on to that next step. Vent girl ... you go for it. I know that I have been doing and, as we know, this is a safe and allowing environment in which to do it. Even if people don't read it, at least you are letting it out ... writing things down is therapeutic, we know that, so get those fingers dancing all over the keyboard!!
I am sure that S has arrived by now and that has taken some pressure off - just seeing loved ones de-escalates things mostly. He will take your hand and help you ... he knows you best and he will throw a loving mantle around you - just let him do what he can do to help. Don't be the mum - let his maturity shine through and allow him to do what he can. You will be helping him to feel better about things, as well as getting some help for yourself.
