It's a pretty easy concept.. if you want to receive love, you give love...
..yet it can be so challenging at times. Way to rise above it. Stumbling can happen, but you have not fallen. Kudos my friend.
I'd imagine that the gloating comes from a place of hurt. I know the times I want to hurt my w is because I am hurting first.
It's hard to fight at times.. even harder to do the reverse of what you want to do. But you must. We never know how our kind actions will affect others. We never know how they will affect ourselves.
I have no doubt that when your son comes, you will not gloat or pout. You will be happy and think of him first.
You will do this because you are challenging yourself to grow.
You will do this because you love him.
P.S. I wasn't on the boards yesterday, but thank you for your service!

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
