Thank you WoundedBibi
I'm ok, she can play her games, I'm not letting her control me and the entertainment aspect is now that I know her and what to expect because you and others have educated me and so now I laugh at her silly childish behavoiurs. I'm detached emotionally and there's no way on earth I would ever take her serious again. I've called her bluffs and explained to her in no uncertain terms we will never be a couple again.
Someone told me to just have fun and enjoy her crazy now that I'm out of it, and I am. Because of what I've learned here I know what i'm dealing with.
It's my son and me and that's it, and yes I need legal council to guide me into getting full custody. She just wants me in her life and she knows she cannot care for a child when she cannot function at all.
Thanks again and I'm open to any and all advice I can get, ignorance and denial got me into this mess and I'm only beginning to wake up.

Thanks londons
I agree and yes I will lc and let her fume at my happiness and success
I've never worked harder in my life to get well, I feel like I'm running at times to get better. Life has never been better for me than it is now.
She will never get my heart back and I won't allow her to destroy what I've worked so hard to achieve.

My son's mother told me her lupus is acting up and making her sick, last weekend the flu was killing her. She said my son is wild (he's 2) and her heart rate is 160. She wanted to take him to the library but she didn't know if she could, I asked why not and she said she's having a heart attact. Then said she had to go.
My my manipulation never ends... .

It does. When you stop giving her the options to manipulate you.

Crazy stuff, I said I would take my son after work tomorrow, my son cannot be happy around someone who's sick 24/7. Or someone who is a hypochondriac. This is crazy.
I feel sorry for my son and his mother, she needs help
