Her behavior towards your son is childish and immature.
I am currently looking for a therapist. I actually emailed one yesterday. Haven’t heard back yet. There is a lot of work that needs to be done, on both ends. Second her behavior is very childish and immature. I’m also going to speak with her father. I saw him the other day and we spoke briefly. I almost laughed because he said, I don’t know how you deal with her. But like I said earlier he is the only person she might listen to, besides hopefully the counselor.
Also, how can you say she doesn’t need me mansplaining? I don’t have a voice when it comes to my baby? Granted she is the one with him, I have also done this twice already.

LH thank you for those words. I let my hurt cloud my thinking and judgement. I was in awe because she is young and beautiful. But like a lot of you have said, the flags were there, I just ignored them. I want to make this work. I really do. Like I said I need to work on some things, like trust now. My divorce made me not trust anyone. Also still working on communication. She needs to listen to me once and a while, I don’t mean just take my suggestions or advice into consideration. Have some respect for me. And just try and show me a little love. You know, it’s like, since I am a man, I just have to be tough. I have expressed to her my love language is touch, but all I get when I say anything which is rare, all I care about is $ex and that she is emotionally not there. Ugh so I think I will be back. This place really helps me a lot. Just knowing I can voice my problems and it be a safe space is great. I don’t trust anyone with my problems, meaning someone to talk to.
