Angry and Heartbroken Grandmother

I am 66 years old. U live with my adult son and his girlfriend of 14 years. They have a 6 year old daughter, my granddaughter. I have watched her daily for them since she was born. I home schooled her last year in kindergarten. Needless to say I am very close to her.

My son has a drinking problem. He doesn't drink everyday but when he does he doesn't know when to stop. Around October of last year he started staying hine all night a couple times a month. After Christmas my daughter in law(girlfriend) found out he has been flirting with other girls on Instagram and Snapchat. He admitted to her he was. He told her he wasn't happy and she moved out and took my granddaughter. My son is making no effort to get her back. She is heartbroken. This all came out of no where.

My problem is I am lost without my granddaughter. I see her a couple days a week but it's not the same. I miss her. I have so much anger towards my son for breaking up his family and doing what he did. I'm having a hard time with my feelings towards him right now. I really never thought I could have these feelings towards one of my children. I don't know what to do.
I feel sad for you. My grandparent's contributions were so meaningful long term.
