"Also the fact that W is emotionally unstable"

Wow and you say that with such conviction. It's no wonder why your W doesn't want to grant you more time. You've been an @$$ to her this whole time.

"We went to court the first time for this very reason. It's not funny."

I think it's very funny how you think thinking your W is crazy is going to help your cause here and in court when you were the selfish one AND continue to be.

"And I am a broken man, who realises he's being taken advantage of, and has received buffets on both cheeks one too many times. And I can put up with shame and betrayal,"

See this martyr complex of yours has just ballooned from when you first got here. You were wrong and now suddenly you're the victim.

"The court can see that, can't they?

What they can see (if they were intelligent) is an absent, self-centered father who didn't involve himself in his child's life until the child was to be taken away from him. And a father who continues to disparage his W.

"Is my view of the world still so skewed now?"

No, you are. And I mean that with all honesty.

"What am I supposed to tell the court so they see the boy needs his dad?"

The boy needs to see A dad and not one who constantly puts down his mother. You really thing you're up for the father of the year award?

"I ask you- I'm begging you!, please!- forget the W and the money, what does it take for a father to see his son?"

For the father to stop acting like a jerk. Period.
