Mandy, I am glad your son has something like a relationship with his dad, however, I think you need to be careful with your closeness of the situation. I also believe that you XH will land flat on his tail, told you that a long time ago, just be careful he doesn't drag you under when the ship sinks. Someone who throws his child out of his home is not someone who can EVER be trusted, and IMO not worthy of having a "friend" but that is your business, just be careful.
