When does the anger leave?

Hello sort of newbie here. Synopsis Kicked soon to x out in Nov. after he got abusive was going to kick him out befoe but because of surgery and not having a car and he got our house repossed I was stuck for a while . I was married 21 years. I finally filed for divorce and he was served about 3 weeks ago .I di'nt have the money until now and I am barley surviving. This week I found out he has been seeing another woman the past two years of our marriage . My mil died and I went with ds to the viewing and because he asked me the family asked me to leave. My ds left with me and cried for about 3 hours he is older but none the less. I am taking him to a counsleor this week but here is my question when does the anger go away?

HUGS to you. It sounds like you have been treated very, VERY poorly by your ex and his family. But letting go of the anger is a process, and can be longer for some than others. You're still in the heat of divorcing, so feeling anger is normal. Divorce is a loss, and we experience the same feelings of grief as we do in other losses. I haven't done this in a while, but I'll post the five stages of grief:
We don't always pass through these stages in order, sometimes we get stuck at a certain stage, and other times, we move backward. Also, don't compare your grief process to someone else's. We all move along at different rates for a variety of reasons. However, if you feel you're having trouble coping, seek out counseling.
