Crimson,
I feel your pain in not being w/ your son. Fortunately for me, if my H left I can't imagine him wanting much responsibility for the kids (don't get me wrong-I want them 2 be involved W their Dad, but he likes his freedom 2 come & go as he pleases way too much)
Yes, you are stronger than you think! Your anger is normal but don't stay in that state. I have discovered the intensity of my anger is in direct proportion to an underlying fear & feeling of helplessness in a situation. Remember, anger is not power, but a quest for power when feeling helpless.
Believe in yourself. We're here to support you
