:?
Just a short history. I met my Fiance when we were in highschool, we dated on and off for a couple years and then got engaged. Shortly after we broke it off...much to my surprise (being told by a coworker) that my very best friend/ room mate was dating him...they were together for a little over a year before getting married and then shortly after they had a son. They split up several times during the pregnancy and afterwards. Shortly after their son turned 1, me and him reconnected. we started dating again and she started seeing someone else also...a few months later they decided to try and save their family and marriage and I left. I didn't make a big deal or deny either of them that chance, needless to say it didn't work out...they divorced and we got back together and she met someone who she has now been with for over a year.

The problems...when me and him were not together they were able to co parent...when I am in the picture its non existant. He will ask her for more time with the child and she will say no and her excuses have ranged from "well you were mean to me at thanksgiving." (months ago) or "id rather put him back in daycare than for you to have him more." He does have court ordered one night a week and everyother weekend and we do have him or see him on those days, but she has just recently moved in with his mother (I KNOW RIGHT?? totally serious.) and she now literally lives 5 mins away. she works 12 hr shifts and so we asked if we could have their son on the evenings while shes at work. of course we cant. The reason we are so fed up with it is bec we are not allowed any extra time but over the past 8 days she has had their son for 1 of them...she pawns him off on my fiancé's family or her family or whoever she can. The really sad part is they know we have asked for more time and instead of telling us they have him so we can get him or go see him there, they don't tell us anything. I don't understand how they can condone her being in my fiancé's mothers house and disrespecting him the way that she does and how she chooses to be a part time mom but absolutely denies the father any more time. How does anyone think that that is okay? he can call and say "hey can I have my son?" and instead of a simple no she will get pissed and go on this big rant and say hateful mean things and then turn around and say hes bitter bec her life turned out better (He could care less lol) He has never raised his voice or disrespected her in anyway and he doesn't allow anyone else to either. Idk how she has it in her head that he is so awful lol he just laughs at her and gets off the phone.

He is a great dad. He pays his child support, and he works hard and he helps me a lot in raising my son because his dad is not around. I would pay money for my sons dad to pick up the phone and ask me to see him. so what is her problem? She is very high conflict. I had tried in the past to resolve any conflict between us and it was just a big "you're a horrible person and I am better than you" spill and then went from that to name calling on her part and then telling me I had the hate in my heart. I never spoke badly to her at all for her to say that. She is very narcissistic in thinking that she is better than everyone and she has never done wrong. I mean to everyone she says I ruined her home but she was living with another man. She has their son call her boyfriend daddy...but made it very clear he was to never call me mommy (not that I would make him do that.) but seriously when she was addressed about it she said it was bec he heard her bf's daughters say that so he doesn't know the difference. I call b.s. he doesn't call me mommy and my son has never called my fiancé daddy and they are the same age. we have both been around them since age 1. We have talked to a lawyer about it but of course we don't have the money it takes for a custody battle. which is sad bec since he was little she's maybe been a mother 2 or 3 days a week and she has full custody. she literally pawns him off on anyone she can. The kid doesn't know who a stranger is. She tries to turn my fiance's family against him and has managed to keep them from getting to know or like me. I love my fiancé and it kills me that he has to go through this, it sucks for me too because I think of his son like I do my own and when he's not here we feel like a piece of us is missing, not to mention my son and him absolutely love and adore each other.

One time my fiancé was trying to take him back after a visit and she told him no not to worry about it, that she already told gma she could bring him. so ex wife calls gma and tells her that my fance refused bring him and he tells gma no he was already there and he was his son, and he was gonnna take him back to meet her boyfriend. so when he got to the spot where he was to meet her boyfriend he was surprised bec she told him that my fiancé refused to bring their son and that he was supposed to be meeting my fiances gpa...lol its all in a attempt to make him look like a horrible father. she creates situations where she absolutely refuses to let him see him or help and then lies to everyone else to turn it on him.

We have tried everything to get this situation to a civil point. To a point where there is good communication and its just a fail. All me and my fiancé are concerned about is having a relationship with their son and she cant seem to put herself aside and let it happen. Its always about what she wants and what she wants to do. All about control. we have tried everything. if anyone knows of an approach to this that we haven't thought of we greatly appreciate it.
