[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you should consult with a family attorney to understand your rights and what can be done to protect your son's interests, especially because of the recent fiasco at your son's school.  Maybe it makes more sense to have a formal custody/visitation schedule in place so that the days/times/locations are prearranged. This way, you can minimize contact with your ex and maybe your ex won't pull any more surprises by suddenly showing up somewhere to see your son.  Or, if you are truly worried about your son's safety when he sees his father, maybe an attorney can walk you through your options.

Is there any chance that your ex could pull something really crazy and take off with your son? If he's truly mad at you and wants to hurt you, that's one way to do it.  And suddenly showing up at your son's school after having no contact for 3 months sounds fishy to me.

At the end of the day, you can't force your ex to be a father.  You can't make him spend time with his child. A decent man who truly loved his child would not abandon him just because he's pissed at the child's mother. What you need to do as the mother is make sure your child is processing this rejection in a healthy way and has a good support system of family and friends who love him.  You also need to stop expecting so much of this man and work through whatever emotions you are having toward him so that you can be as clear and levelheaded about this for your son's sake.
