John 14:13

After being married for 33 years, my husband left me a note that stated he was done with the marriage, wanted a divorce and I should move out. Realizing that I can't afford the house, I found a nice apartment and moved. During this time I also found out that he was having an affair (his 3rd) with a girl that is almost 30 years younger than he.
We have a 13 year old son -- that wanted to have shared parenting -- we all agreed on every other week. When I first moved, my son was over often, then with the affair going on -- he became more and more distant. For almost 3 weeks, I have barely seen him. Now he says he has changed his mind and only wants to visit on 2 days a week and only for a few hours. My heart is so heavy -- I don't know how to encourage him to try the every other week. He seems so angry -- but accepts this affair as if nothing is wrong.
I feel that my husband is buying him things and saying things about me to turn my son away. What can I do to get my son to accept coming over. Why do I feel like the outcast when it's my husband that continues the affair and throws it in my face every chance he gets?
