No, no absolutely NOT. You have legal recourse. YOu have a right to be in his life. Just get in touch with an attorney.
You have the right to see him VERY much more often than twice a year, so hop to it and get a good attorney fast. They can NOT phase you out of your son's life without YOU letting it happen. Do not give them that pleasure.

Have you two gotten a divorce? If so, there should be custodial instructions with your divorce decree. Depending on the laws of the state you live in, you should have an opportunity to go to court and plead your legal/parental rights, including paying child support.

She can not deny you visitation. I would get an attorney and fight her for visitation. Have you tried talking to her? Tell her that you want to see your son at least twice a week?
In my state, shared custody means you get him 2 days a week, every other weekend, 2 weeks a year for vacation, and you alternate holidays and his birthday. I believe (in my state) you also get him for your birthday and for Father's Day. I would try talking to her and working something out, if she is not willing, I would definitely take her to court.
Good Luck.
This is for my state. Hope it helps some.
1. Regular Parenting Time
(1) On alternating weekends from Friday at 6:00 P.M. until Sunday at 6:00 P.M. (the times may change to fit the parents’ schedules).
(2) One (1) evening per week, preferably in mid-week, for a period of up to four hours but the child shall be returned no later than 9:00 p.m.
(3) On all scheduled holidays.
Commentary
Where the distance from the non-custodial parent’s residence makes it reasonable, the weekday period may be extended to an overnight stay. In such circumstances, the responsibility of feeding the child the next morning, getting the child to school or day care, or returning the child to the residence of the custodial parent, if the child is not in school, shall be on the non-custodial parent.
2. Extended Parenting Time (Child 3 through 4 Years Old)
Up to four (4) non-consecutive weeks during the year beginning at 4:00 P.M. on Sunday until 4:00 P.M. on the following Sunday, the non-custodial parent to give sixty (60) days advance notice of the use of a particular week.
3. Extended Parenting Time (Child 5 and older)
One-half of the summer vacation. The time may be either consecutive or split into two (2) segments. The noncustodial parent shall give notice to the custodial parent of the selection by April 1 of each year. If such notice is not given, the custodial parent shall make the selection.
If a child attends year-round school, the periodic breaks should be divided equally between the parents.
If a child attends summer school, the parent exercising parenting time shall be responsible for the child’s transportation to and attendance at school.
During any extended summer period of more than two (2) consecutive weeks with the non-custodial parent, the custodial parent shall have the benefit of the regular parenting time schedule set forth above, unless impracticable because of distance created by out of town vacations.
Similarly, during the summer period when the children are with the custodial parent for more than two (2) consecutive weeks, the non-custodial parent’s regular parenting time continues, unless impracticable because of distance created by out of town vacations.
Notice of an employer’s restrictions on the vacation time of either parent shall be delivered to the other parent as soon as that information is available. In scheduling parenting time the employer imposed restrictions on either parent’s time shall be considered by the parents in arranging their time with their child.

Yes, she can. It might not be the right thing to do , but she can. Maybe you should have married her. I would love to know why she left. Maybe it has something to do with why she won't let you see him. I'd mind my p's and q's when you talk to her. Send him cards and letters so that he knows you are thinking of him.

Get a lawyer. Its not right that she is doing that. Prove that you are trying to be a father and she won't let you.

The only way she can deny it is if she went to court
