In fairness to everyone, not all divorced dads are bad. My finace is divorced and he is the real father figure for my daughter. Her "father" is a low down loser. Keep your chin up! When your son grows older and gets out into life on his own, he may soon realize reality from "moms reality"....

I'd like to think it's more than "not all"

Sorry, nothing against Dads at all, but I just dont understand why you havent been seeing your son? Sounds to me that you just sorta let go, and sorry, but in that choice, are consequences - emotional ones for both you and your kid to bear and financial ones just for you. No, your exes behavior is not right, but you also have not made any real effort to be a dad. I have dealt with parental alienation from NCP and i deal with my kid acting out on me all the time. I thought about bailing. I did, I admit it. It sucks. But you cant bail on your kids. Kids act out in anger but they dont know why...they dont understand what is happening and that they are being manipulated by somebody. Then, after you bail, when they become adults, they are forced to deal with the emotional trauma of being abandoned and may have severe problems. Yeah, your ex wont like the fact that you got married. Yes you will continue to pay support which will fluctuate. Yes your spouse (even if the formula doesnt actually include her income) is now a stepmother and when she chose to marry you she also chose that role, and she is supposed to accept her stepchild as family and help to support said child. So it really seems to me that you need to step up to the plate.
