I quickly went over your post. Interesting story. I know there is a question in there somewhere.
My opinion on your relationship difficulties?
Like me, you didn't get along with your eX so you got a divorce. Not to be rude but, is it a surprise you still don't get along?
To me divorce is about parents NOT having to see each other daily and learning how to deal with there sh*t.
A wise person told me, Bolivar there are three sides to every divorce:
1. His side
2. Her side
3. The Truth
Please understand I am not trying to glaze over your dilemma. I do sympathize with the tremendous pain you feel dealing with another person who is vindictive while doing what is best for the children. At times the pain can be unbearable.
I have learned that no matter how crappy I feel "I can never give up trying to be more of a parent to my son". I am a dad and will continue to be a positive roll model for my son.
This reminds me of a saying:
With time some bottles of grape juice turn in to Great wine, others turn into vinegar.
With the passage of time I hope to become Great Dad at peace with my undesirable situation and not turn into a grumpy old dad.
