Wow Mona, that's a lot to balance at one time! No wonder you can't sleep. Your brain is too busy running around spinning all of the plates in your life. You're doing the work of three people - as an exhausted one person team. Must be equally frustrating and exhausting.
Your S may be taking this harder as he is the youngest, and he's now faced with being the man of the house. Your D's still have their female role model around, your S sees your H not there and is acting out it looks like. That being said, at 12 I had one thing on my mind at all times and my parents were still together. Show me a 12 year old boy that's not interested in girls in bikinis. In this day and age, that's tame!
Maybe he needs a bit of tough love, but also some understanding. Have that heart to heart with him? May work better than trying to force him to push through whatever feelings are driving the lack of work, and his staying up late. I imagine this is all very challenging for him, especially at that age. Failing math is the sure sign that he either doesn't care right now (which is fine, most of us sucked at school for a few years and still thrived), or is trying to let you know that he's in pain.
Truly, you're a rock star dealing with everything you are. I got overwhelmed just reading about all of the tasks that you're responsible for, by yourself no less. You'll get through them though, I have complete faith that you're going check each item off one by one and keep moving forward. Heck, you created life on three separate occasions, moving a house won't get the best of you.
Sorry jerk face still hasn't realized what kind of woman he's walking away from.
Big hug,
