My ex has never been a very involved father. We separated after only 3 months of marriage and I found out I was 1 month pregnant after I left him. He stopped calling me at 5 months pregnant. I filed for divorce a month after my son was born. My ex was given visitation, but he only exercised 4 weekends the first year and none the second year. He has been somewhat more regular since my son was 2, but by regular I mean every 3-5 months. He hardly ever calls my son and if he calls and we are not home, he claims that my husband and I are avoiding his calls. He has complained and made hateful comments about my mothering since our divorce. He thinks he would be a better father, but he cant even exercise more frequent visitations or phone calls. I know he resents me for divorcing him, but I gave him no promises of reconciliation. I get tired of hearing nasty things he says about me from my son. Should I just blow it off as immaturity or try to contront him for the 100th time?
