I too have went through the same thing,so no,never will i nor anyone here Bash you for feeling the way you do,If you read through my posts months back you will understand that i was in the same boat,unfortunate for me the EX and her boyfriend has manipulated the kids,as i am not able to contact with them,i wish i was able to contact them,to be there for holidays birthdays etc,to watch both grow,to give them the advise they need.
I would continue to be in contact,to love him as your own,the problem you face is the EX and her (as i call it) other,my EX and her Other want nothing for me to do in the kids life,so if she is ok with you still being around,then stay with it,continue to help him grow,steer him in the right direction,be apart of his life as he grows.
I wish i could be there,truth is he is now 16,and i have a feeling that someday he will knock on my door and ask to be with me.
