Can't believe she did this to me after all the compromises I made for her, want to just bail out of here and forget it all

Your child’s going to be raised by that woman. Her views on the world will become his. Is that really what you want? He will be raised to hate you. You are also the one who has cared for him this whole time.

That right there is probably the biggest reason I fought my ex tooth and nail in court. She was genuinely expecting me to just tuck tail, slink off never to be heard from again and send her child support every month like her first ex did. That expectation is a good example of why it didn't work, she lives in her own world where reality doesn't play a part, she should have known better. My kids need their dad, they absolutely do not need some two dimensional villain cooked up by the imagination of their mother fucking with their minds.

OP hadn't realized, he had a kid which means it's not about him anymore. His time as the focus is done.
