Sorry to hear you did not have the support of your mother during the trying times. My parents were very supportive during my lousy marriage and were very happy when I told them I had filed for divorce.
It seems the only time men want their children at their beck and call is after they have ruined any relationship they had. My ex never paid any attention to the 19 yr old until he moved out. He then figured she should cater to his whims after the separation and divorce like he was the world's greatest father. He doesn't seem to understand she is old enough to determine on her own if she wants to spend time with him.
Hang in there. It will get better. It seems at times that it is oppressive, but keep you chin up and look at the positive side of him being gone.
Have a great week.

I was kind of looking forward to the "break," but not now... I can't even sleep. I freakin' have 1 eye open all the time. I miss the kids and ended up getting about 3 hours of sleep. Plus, I'm used to having the dog let me know if someone pulls into the driveway, etc. Too wierd --- this happened back in Feb, but I really thought I was beyond that. 
to all! Happy Tuesday!
