Okay, a couple things are evident. First off, clearly I have no respect for my 2bx or else I would be hassling him for child support.
I'm not even sure why you have to worry about it. In this day and age, Children's Services takes care of this kind of thing. Have you not given them his name/location? And why would you not do that at least?

Secondly, I think I have repressed my lioness for reasons along the lines of I believe the old saying that "living well is the best revenge" and I don't want to be vengeful because I model myself after my nice guy father because I fear being like my lioness/monkey mother.
Hmmm.... could be. I don't mean to be cruel or to offend, but I don't remember you really standing up for yourself with 2bx when you were together. In the specific situation you are in, the lioness comes through for self=protection and dignity, not to prove to the males that she can handle herself, or to scare them. It's more of a kill or be killed kind of instinct. That sounds rather harsh, but I hope you know what I mean.
