This is going to sound weird but I actually felt empowered being there by myself with s. For weeks I have been thinking that being a single mom su@ks. And in a lot of ways it does. But now I know I can do it. I can handle the hard, scary, "Grown up" Stuff. The stuff that H is running away from.
It is very empowering. Each time I get through something that I was scared of (first Christmas alone, first stomach bug alone, etc.), I realize that I really am going to be okay no matter what. In the face of something scary, you did amazing!

He said no I only want you. I hope h doesn't damage that relationship beyond repair.
Kids are very smart. They know who they can depend upon and who they cant. You show your son on a daily basis that you are his rock. It wont take him long to understand your H's limitations.
WAS are fully consumed in their own fantasy land. I really dont think that they understand the damage that they are causing. It makes me so sad for all the kids on here.
