Your story is like so many other women out there. I myself had the same experience and so has a close friend of mine. My son used to go back and forth, but that got too hard for him. His father made my son feel guilty for having a relationship with me. Eventually he quit seeing me. I haven't seen or talked to him in over a year. He's 16 now and I hope once he leaves his father as an adult....he will come around. I have put myself out financially through court to fight for him, but all it has done has caused my son to become severally depressed. I let him go. It was hard, but I am raising two children now and they were suffering from it too. What you did was hard, I know. The thing is when a mother loves her son so much, sometimes she has to make decisions that hurt her for her child's benefit. You have to forgive your self and never give up.
tbc,
I had to respond to your message. If you have a court order that allows you to have visitation with your son you can file a denial of visitation form with the family court in you city to force your ex-husband to let you see your son. I am a non-custodial mother who just went through the same thing. Of course you should do what's best for you and your son. If you feel you want a relationship with your son than you do have options you don't have to settle for your ex-husbands control over the situation.
