Americans in Afghanistan face hard choice of dividing their families

When CBS News first met Angela, an American mother in Afghanistan, she said she was visiting family in August when the government fell and the Taliban came to power. She said repeatedly that she feared for her life.

"This is my passport. I don't know if you can see it," said Angela, holding up her blue American passport to the camera. "We are trapped in Afghanistan. We have been here more than three and a half months." 

In late August, as the last U.S. military flights were departing the country and desperation swelled outside the Kabul airport, Angela says she fought for hours to get through the gates before a suicide bomber attacked the crowd. She fled the city and went into hiding.
