Believe me, you don't want a custody battle unless you have to do that for S5's sake. If X tries to keep you from seeing him, that's a reason. If she is endangering him, that's a reason. If you're "just" upset over her parenting style, that's not reason enough.
I'm not advising to avoid a custody battle because it would damage the chances for reconciliation. In my case I don't want a reconciliation. I still wish I didn't have as much of a custody battle as I have now. X would fight just as dirty as STBXW does, and your S5 would be just as much the loser as my S5 is right now.
If it gets to the point where you have to fight to see him, or you have to protect him, by all means battle with every ounce of strength in you, and everything we can send you in prayers. But don't go into something like that without having your eyes wide open.
More prayers,
K
